Background and Aims
Acquired Brain Injury, mental health, and addictions are multifaceted, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Currently these disorders have been managed by different systems of care; however, there exists a need for a comprehensive model that is able to treat comorbid disorders as primary. 
The purpose of this study is to examine the complexities of providing community-based rehabilitation and the interrelation among ABI, mental health, and addictions. Furthermore, by utilizing case studies we will demonstrate that the only way to perpetually enhance the lives and rehabilitation goals of the individual is to treat comorbid disorders holistically.   
 Methods
We provided community-based rehabilitation support for individuals living in the community with an ABI through a Supported Independent Living (SIL) program. The program is facilitated by five full-time staff, two case managers, and operates seven days a week. Each staff support up to seven clients daily, based on client schedules and identified needs. SIL staff have received a variety of specialized training focused on ABI rehabilitation, mental health, and addictions.     
Results
The SIL program provided support to 39 individuals. Within this population, it was discovered there was a mental health prevalence of 80% and an addiction prevalence of 49%. By collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of professionals from the community, client specific support was designed to reflect needs. The program has thus far maintained a 100% success rate in supporting individuals to maintain their independence, and an 85% success rate for individualized goal attainment. However, it is vital to note that the success of these individuals vary significantly. Specific case studies will be drawn upon regarding the complexity of service and degree of success.
Conclusions
By utilizing a multidisciplinary and holistic approach, the SIL program has demonstrated the ability to effectively support individuals with ABI, mental health, and addictions in the community. In order to improve upon the support that is being provided, service providers must be prepared to treat all comorbid disorders as primary. Strategic community partnerships must be developed and a comprehensive model of care must be utilized.
