Abstract

A primary goal in creating this guide is to respond to the needs of the working clinician in today’s changing service delivery environment, with particular attention to behavioral health clinicians practicing in primary care settings. Students in social work, psychology, and counseling represent an important target audience, which is the next generation SAMSHA is seeking to reach. ICT’s approach enables ease of adoption of this new clinical practice without large changes to existing programs and systems. ICT is currently being practiced by clinicians working in community health centers, community-based substance abuse and mental health agencies, and a program serving soldiers of the Army National Guard. The information presented here should serve as a relevant and practical resource for use on a daily basis to provide individualized, patient-centered treatment.
