Integrated Care

Addiction is never black and white. Therefore, treatment for substance abuse is not definitive. The road to recovery often involves a variety of treatment methods designed to alter mood, behavior, and decision-making. Integrated care is one such treatment model that blends behavioral health services with general or specialty medical services to meet the unique needs and challenges of patients with addiction problems.

Located in Washington, DC, Aquila Recovery Clinic is an intensive rehabilitation clinic that offers outpatient drug treatment, dual diagnosis treatment, and other services for individuals starting or in the process of recovery. Through integrated care, our team is able to help patients improve their mental health to achieve a higher quality of wellness.


What Is Integrated Care?

Integrated care is a comprehensive approach that promotes the health of individuals and families through the coordination of evidence-based primary healthcare and mental health services. What makes integrated care unique to DC is that it facilitates communication and only works when healthcare professionals work together to address a patient’s mental and physical health needs. However, models can vary widely from provider to provider.

Candidates For Integrated Care

Most adults are seen by their primary care physician rather than a mental health facility. While general care providers do have some knowledge of mental health, this knowledge is often limited. Integrated care can help these individuals get the targeted care that they need to address their unique mental health concerns. Integrated care is an excellent option for patients suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral problems, or any other health challenges that may be contributing to their alcohol or drug addiction.


The Collaborative Care Model

The collaborative care model is a type of systemic approach to the treatment of conditions such as anxiety and depression. This effective treatment model offers an approach to integration that consists of primary care providers, psychiatric consultants, and care managers who team up to provide healthcare services and monitor a patient’s care. There is a known gap in the U.S. when it comes to treating mental disorders, primarily due to a lack of mental health specialists and the stigma that comes along with having a mental illness.

Collaborative care uses evidence-based treatments for treating common mental disorders using a population-based approach. Close collaboration between medical providers and mental health professionals in primary care settings can foster recovery and ensure that nothing is overlooked. The collaborative care model focuses on treating a person as a whole rather than specific symptoms or problems.
