This article presents the application of Roberts' seven-stage crisis intervention model in working with mentally ill chemical abusers. Roberts' model will be combined with strengths perspective and brief solution-focused therapy to provide an effective framework for addressing the unique needs of mentally ill chemical abusers within a managed care treatment environment. This article will present three case examples and one impromptu intervention to demonstrate methods for clinicians to apply in addressing this challenging and complex population.

KEY WORDS: crisis intervention, mental illness, substance dependence, managed care, cocaine, OxyContin, alcohol dependence
