(13) "Dual diagnosis capable (DDC)" means treatment programs address co-occurring mental and substance-related disorders in their policies and procedures, assessment, treatment planning, program content, and discharge planning are described as "dual diagnosis capable". Such programs have arrangements in place for coordination and collaboration with mental health services. They also can provide psychopharmacologic monitoring and psychological assessment and consultation, either on-site or through coordination consultation with off-site providers. Program staff is able to address the interaction between mental and substance-related disorders and their effect on the patient's readiness to change, as well as relapse and recovery environment issues, through individual and group content. Nevertheless, the primary focus of DDC programs is the treatment of substance-related disorders.

(14) "Dual diagnosis enhanced (DDE)" describes treatment programs that incorporate policies, procedures, assessments, treatment, and discharge planning processes that accommodate patients who have co-occurring mental and substance-related disorders. Mental health symptom management groups are incorporated into addiction treatment. Motivational enhancement therapies specifically designed for those with co-occurring mental and substance-related disorders are more likely available (particularly in outpatient settings) and, ideally, there is close collaboration or integration with a mental health program that provides crises back-up services and access to mental health case management and continuing care. In contrast to dual diagnosis capable services, dual diagnosis enhanced services place their primary focus on the integration of services for mental and substance-related disorders in their staffing, services, and program content.
