Description: America is facing an epidemic of substance misuse, but there’s a major obstacle to getting people the help they need: There’s simultaneously a nationwide lack of training in addiction treatment for professionals and a massive need for people with this training. These problems are severe; many future mental health providers are graduating without ever completing a single course in substance abuse treatment. But substance abuse is very much part of the real world of mental health treatment—even if that’s not why your clients came into your office. Be prepared to recognize substance use and get your clients the help they need. Join me, Paul Brasler, LCSW, and I’ll walk you through numerous proven strategies and interventions that you need to effectively recognize and treat substance use disorders. Attend this program, and through a combination of the latest addiction research and clear examples of treatment, you’ll learn:  • How to differentiate between casual misuse and addiction  • Who you should treat and when you should refer out  • Techniques to improve client engagement and treatment compliance  • How to modify your interventions for use with special clinical populations, including veterans Objectives: •  Appraise the causes of substance use disorders & factors that reinforce drug use as related to case conceptualization. •  Analyze the basic neurobiology of addictive chemicals and its treatment implications. •  Categorize commonly misused drugs, including current “street names” of these substances, as related to assessment and treatment planning. •  Assess the signs and symptoms of substance intoxication and distinguish withdrawal syndromes for each drug class as related to case conceptualization. •  Perform a clinical assessment to distinguish substance use disorders from other mental health disorders and inform the clinician’s choice of treatment interventions. •  Analyze the various levels of substance use treatment, including medication-assisted therapies, to inform clinical treatment interventions. •  Evaluate the process of detoxification and its treatment implications. •  Utilize clinical strategies, such as motivational interviewing, to improve client engagement and foster behavioral change. •  Modify clinical interventions for use with clients in special populations, such as adolescents or pregnant women. •  Utilize clinical strategies to engage the client’s family in treatment to improve treatment outcomes. •  Demonstrate strategies used to improve the efficacy of group therapy, such as strategies for addressing disruptive members and building group cohesion. •  Evaluate ethical and legal issues related to substance use and substance use treatment, including circumstances when you should disclose client records.
