Goals:
- To create a shared vision built around processes and adaptations necessary to implement Louisiana Integrated Treatment Services.
- Identify service, administrative and policy gaps and either address regionally, or if needed, referred up the system to be resolved by the Behavioral Healthcare Taskforce.
- To address such issues as training needs, modifications of all clinical/counselor staff job descriptions to incorporate responsibility for providing integrated treatment, interagency support and training of supervisory staff, ongoing mechanisms for quality assurance, for resolving clinical issues, and utilization of all staff resources needed to provide integrated treatment.
