Telehealth for the Treatment of Serious Mental Illness and
Substance Use Disorders
EVIDENCE-BASED RESOURCE GUIDE SERIES
Content of the Guide
This guide contains a foreword and five chapters. The chapters stand alone and do not need to be read in order. Each chapter is designed to be brief and accessible to healthcare providers, healthcare system administrators, community members, policy makers, and others working to meet the needs of people at risk for, experiencing, or recovering from SMI and/or SUD.
The goal of this guide is to review the literature on the effectiveness of telehealth modalities for the treatment of SMI and SUD, distill the research into recommendations for practice, and provide examples of how practitioners use these practices in their programs.
