Ohio SAMI Coordinating Center of Excellence
January 2009
The Ohio Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Coordinating Center of Excellence (Ohio SAMI CCOE) is a technical-assistance organization that promotes knowledge development and the implementation of evidence-based practices for the treatment and recovery of people with mental illness
These practices are service models that research has demonstrated to generate improved consumer outcomes, program outcomes, and service systems outcomes. Research shows that organizations which maintain fidelity to the original design of Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment model achieve and sustain the best outcomes. The SAMI CCOE helps service systems, organizations, and treatment providers implement and sustain the Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment model, maintain fidelity to the model, and develop collaborations within local communities that enhance the quality of life for consumers and their families.
