One Person, One Team, One Plan for Recovery
This web site focus is to provide information and communication on the COJAC, its members, its subcommittees, and its implementation of the Co-Occuring Disorders (COD) state action plan.
In the fall of 2004, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) invited the State of California to participate in the COD National Policy Academy meeting in early 2005 in Washington, D.C.
Concurrently during the fall of 2004, the California Institute for Mental Health (CiMH) sponsored a meeting and a conference on COD. Representatives from CADPAAC and CMHDA attended the meeting and conference held in late 2004.
In the spring of 2005, a workgroup tasked to implement the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) COD state action plan began meeting. Members of the SAMHSA COD National Policy Academy and the joint association representatives coalesced into the forum called the Co-Occurring Joint Action Council (COJAC). The COJAC will be adding representation to broaden input and to facilitate moving the action plan forward with the deepest and broadest input possible.
