The Interaction of Co-Occurring Mental Disorders and Recovery Management Checkups on Substance Abuse Treatment Participation and RecoveryEvaluation Review, Vol. 32, No. 1, 7-38 (2008)
This article examines the effectiveness of quarterly Recovery Management Checkups (RMCs) for people with substance disorders by level of co-occurring mental disorders (34% none, 27% internalizing disorders, and 39% internalizing and externalizing) across two randomized experiments with 92% to 97% follow-up.
It is effective in linking participants in need to treatment, with equal or better outcomes among those with more mental disorders.
The data support the utility of monitoring and re-intervention for clients with co-occurring disorders.
