Topics of Interest • Co-Occurring Disorders o o o Screening • We are strongly encouraging all OMH and OASAS clinics to screen all clinic recipients for co-occurring substance use or mental health disorders: • For OASAS clinics, these are: Modified Mini Screen (MMS); Mental Health Screening Form III (MHSFIII); and K-6 (Kessler). • For OMH clinics, these are: Modified Simple Screening Instrument for Substance Abuse (MSSI-SA); CAGE-AID; and ASSIST. Assessment • All clinics are also strongly encouraged to assess all individuals who screen positive on one of the above instruments. Regulatory Reform • Although the concept of dual certification (i.e., certification of a single program by both OASAS and OMH) has been discussed, we conclude that integrated treatment is possible within a provider's existing certification. This is referred to as “single certification,” i.e., services associated with substance use and mental disorders may be provided in an integrated manner for persons with co-occurring disorders in a single setting certified by either OMH or OASAS.
