Other Resources
Alabama
Website for Persons with Co-Existing Conditions
This service is provided by the Alabama Department
of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. Healthcare information is provided
for the professional or the family caregiver. The DDMED consultative program
provides a roadmap to healthcare professionals who manage persons with intellectual
disability and other health problems such as mental illness or neurological
disorders. Every patient is different and these guidelines provide basic
information but are not meant as treatment protocols for specific patients.
The responsible clinician must evaluate each patient and determine which
aspects of the program information are appropriate to the individual of
concern.
Although the site was set up for the symposium it is the closest thing we have to a web-resource on this issue – I intend to update the page with additional resources and a new header as soon as I can. There is no particular rush on this – hopefully within the next month or so…

Reports and Reviews
This report documents the first step in a collaborative dialogue between state mental health and developmental disabilities agencies and multiple stakeholders in the states to assess the successes and failures of current practice in serving people with co-occurring conditions in an effort to develop a productive partnership for systems change. The report identifies barriers to services in existing service systems, describes components of an "ideal" system of care, and makes recommendations for systems change.
