Yet fewer than one in every 10 people with co-occurring disorders receives treatment for both conditions.

To address the shortcomings of New York State’s licensed addiction and mental health programs in treating people with co-occurring disorders, NYHealth established the first-of-its-kind Center for Excellence in Integrated Care (CEIC) in 2008 with a four-year grant to National Development and Research Institutes, Inc. With support from NYHealth, Health Policy Associates, Inc. conducted a comprehensive examination of NYHealth’s efforts to integrate mental health and substance use services since 2008.
