A Co-Occurring Evaluation is a clinical, strengths-based evaluation of an individual experiencing co-occurring
substance use and mental health symptoms. The Co-Occurring Evaluation is a process of gathering information
to assess client functioning and needs based on identification of the presenting problem, evaluation of mental
status, evaluation of substance use, formulation of a diagnostic impression (as applicable) and recommendation
for treatment services/strategies. The Co-Occurring Evaluation will include a mental health diagnostic impression
(as applicable), a substance use diagnostic impression (as applicable), history of mental health symptoms, trauma
history/symptoms, criminogenic risk, risk of harm to self and/or others, the individual’s perception of the
situation and collateral information. Based on the evaluation, recommendations are provided and justified for
appropriate behavioral health services and treatment. The results of the Simple Screening Instrument (SSI)
should be included in the written narrative report. The Co-Occurring Evaluation may include a recommendation
for further psychological testing, if supported.
