IDDT
Also written as: IDDT — Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment
Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment model for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
Full Definition
Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) is an evidence-based practice model specifically designed for individuals with severe mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders. Unlike parallel treatment approaches, IDDT integrates mental health and addiction services within a single treatment team and setting. The model emphasizes motivational interventions, stage-wise treatment matching, and long-term engagement rather than requiring abstinence as a prerequisite for mental health treatment. IDDT programs typically include case management, group counseling, family involvement, and psychiatric services delivered by cross-trained staff members.
Usage
Usage note: Distinguish from IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) and general dual diagnosis treatment approaches.
