Stages of Change Webinar Available for On Demand Viewing
The Stages of Change model has been applied to a broad range of behaviors including weight loss, injury prevention, overcoming alcohol, and drug problems among others. The idea is that behavior change does not happen in one step. Rather, people tend to go through identifiable stages on their way to successful change. The five stages of change are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Victoria Lahey, MS Ed, NCC, discusses the characteristics of each stage and the tools needed to assist those grappling with the different issues that relate to changing behavior. This webinar was recorded in two 1-1/2 hour sessions.

PA Departments of Health and Welfare Co-Occurring Disorder Competency Approval Criteria Bulletin
CPwbehall_20060210_162335.pdf
In the context of statewide infrastructure development for services to individuals and families with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders, as part of the SAMHSA Co-Occurring State Infrastructure Grant activity, and in recognition of the high prevalence, poor outcomes, and high cost of sequential treatment services, the Department of Health and the Department of Public Welfare have jointly developed this bulletin to accomplish the following objectives:
-
To move the entire behavioral health system toward the achievement of core competency to serve individuals with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders who are already engaged in a facility program;
-
To provide the framework for delineating objective criteria for defining Co-Occurring Disorder Competency for any facility within the Commonwealth licensed by the Department of Health, Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs or the Department of Public Welfare, Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services;
-
To describe the process by which licensed facilities can achieve Co-Occurring Disorder Competency; and,
-
To provide direction for County MH/MR Programs and Single County Authorities in supporting the development of Co-Occurring Disorder Competent programs in all facilities.
The bulletin is the first step in statewide infrastructure development to support co-occurring service delivery. The bulletin will be implemented in a phased approach starting in March of 2006 with select site visits scheduled by the Departments of Health and Welfare, followed by statewide implementation.
TO ASSIST PROGRAMS in developing Co-Occurring Competent philosophies and program capacity, numerous resources are available as background information and reflect current consensus based and promising practice standards such as:

New from the National Institute on Drug Abuse: Substance Abuse Treatment Resource Guide
Treatment for drug abuse is never a one-size-fits-all
process, and finding the right treatment for a person's specific needs is
critical to success. However, trying to identify the right treatment program
for a friend, colleague, or loved one can be a difficult process.
To help, the National Institute on Drug Abuse has
created Seeking Drug Abuse Treatment: Know What To Ask. This brief guide
explores five important questions to ask when searching for a treatment program
and explains what the research suggests is most effective. This free booklet
offers valuable information for individuals, families, and friends seeking a
treatment program.
