BBS-Demystifying
Drugs and Alcohol: How to Recognize Addiction in Youth and their Caregivers
(2-Day) - 15 CAMFT & RN CE Credits
Training Summary
Clients who have Substance Use Disorders are in every part
of our system. This 2-day
15-hour in-depth pre-licensure class on the assessment and treatment of
substance-related disorders was developed for ASWs, AMFTs, and APCCs. It is
also appropriate for anyone else in the behavioral health field who wants
simply to learn more about this important issue. Topics covered include:
substances and their effects, current trends, screening and assessment, signs
of intoxication, an overview of substance-related disorders as defined in the
DSM-5, treatment/counseling strategies such as relapse prevention theory, harm
reduction, contingency management, and motivational interviewing all of which
are evidence-based approaches with proven success rates. Attendees will learn
about assisting clients who have dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders, referral
information and more. Attendees should leave this training with a solid
understanding of how to recognize and treat people with substance-related
problems and how to differentiate them from people who use drugs without
significant problems. The following sources, Larimer ME, Palmer RS,
