CEIC operates within a “virtual infrastructure,” a framework that is invoked by a shared mission (improving the care of persons with co-occurring disorders in NYS), rather than by formal relationships. The person is at the center, surrounded by his/her social networks (family and advocates), the provider network (over 1,200 addiction and mental health clinics), NYS County Directors, and consumer advocacy groups.
