If you can open the video let me know please

After watching the “Co-Occurring Disorders” video answer the following questions:

1.What did you learn from this video and how might it impact your social work practice?

2.How does the co-occurring of mental health and substance abuse problems possibly make both problems worse?

3.The State of Maryland is moving towards a behavioral health integration model, meaning that clients will now receive their substance abuse and mental health services at the same treatment location instead of going to two separate agencies. (For more information on this development, see http://dhmh.maryland.gov/bhd/SitePages/integrationefforts.aspx.) How does the integration of mental health and substance abuse services possibly provide better treatment outcomes for clients? In your opinion, how will this integration impact the social work profession?
