What causes PTSD?
It is likely that many dually disordered individuals will be referred to dual disorder treatment from primary addictions or primary mental health treatment. This means that the managed care organization must communicate its assessment criteria for one or the other disorders, and must also agree internally (between addictions and mental health divisions) as to what standardized instruments will be used. Currently, it is rare to find addiction and mental health programs that share a mutual database at any level from private carriers to city, county, State, or even Federal-level systems. Without a common database accepted by both mental health and addictions, managing care by either provider or insurer will be very difficult.
The national institutes on prescription drug addiction dallas abuse, alcohol abuse and alcoholism, and mental health, as well as the programs operated by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, need to provide a model of such a cooperative database. Such a database should have both research and clinical management versions.
