"This book provides a ‘fresh’ look at co-occurring disorders with a consideration of the unification of all professionals to bridge a gap in the divide of treatment. It extends upon traditional treatment methods to include varied approaches to the rise in co-occurring disorders. A major feature includes the diverse list of contributors and the focus on the varied diagnoses in relation to SUDs via a cultural lens, taking into account the uniqueness of each client extending beyond a stereotypical DSM-5 checklist. Along with embedded assessment considerations, integrated care, and treatment protocol considerations, the breakdown of each section and the integrative treatments go beyond the typical protocols to expand the clinician's thinking."
Rosanne Nunnery, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, BC-TMH, associate clinical professor of Counselor Education, Division of Education, MSU-Meridian

"This text is a must read for counseling, social work, and psychology students as well as practicing clinicians. The content is presented in applied, rich, vivid detail, yet the authors are able to succinctly distill the main points of complicated issues (e.g., substance use disorder treatment) and theories into bite-sized nuggets which can be translated into clinical practice. The questions presented at the end of each chapter build off the content presented and challenge readers to think critically about the material. I highly recommend this book for mental health practitioners and students in training!"

"This is one of the few texts which conceptualizes the treatment of co-occurring disorders from an integrative counseling approach. The text reviews various evidence-based practices for application over multiple populations while addressing often overlooked aspects of treatment to support those living with co-occurring disorders. This text is appropriate for students obtaining their degrees in clinical mental health counseling programs, substance use programs, and future clinicians who will be working in the area of co-occurring disorders."
