What is included

Enrollment in the Substance Use Disorder Treatment Course Bundle includes:

  • Four individual courses that offer a total of 8 CEs
  • Instruction provided by seasoned instructors on a variety of topics
  • Instruction material that addresses substance use disorder topics

Upon registration, the following courses will be added to your account:

1. Telehealth and Substance Use Disorder, Online Self-Study

This presentation will focus on how to deliver substance use therapy via telehealth. How do you assess, conduct groups and individual sessions when working with the population that struggles with substance use disorder when using technology. This session will delve specifically into the pitfalls of assessment and group therapy when using telehealth to conduct the service. Participants will learn effective strategies to use in order to effectively provide care.

2. Substance Use Disorder Treatment for the Family and the Use of Telehealth, Online Self-Study

The effects of a substance use disorder (SUD) are felt by the entire family (Lander, Howsare, & Byrne 2013). Substance use disorders (SUDs) are associated with many areas of a person’s life including medical, psychiatric, psychological, spiritual, economic, social, family, and legal problems. These problems can generate a considerable burden for the affected individuals, their families, and society (Daley, 2013). This workshop will address the effects of SUDs on the family system, including how to engage families in a tele-health setting. In this training we will also address family intervention techniques provided both on-site and virtually for clients with SUDs and their families. Family systems theory and attachment theory are theoretical models that provide a framework for understanding how SUDs affect the family (Birkeland, 2021).  We will explore these theories and how with the utilization of tele-health we can incorporate how to move families through the stages of change in their recovery process.

3. Recognizing and Responding to Behavioral Addictions, Online Self-Study

Behavioral addictions such as gaming, gambling, sex, pornography, social media, and food affect a substantial number of clients, yet many counselors have not received formal training on how to treat behavioral addictions. In this presentation, attendees will learn how to recognize and respond to behavioral addictions in clinical practice. Specifically, the presenter will describe how to conceptualize behavioral addictions, the neuroscience of behavioral addictions, criteria of behavioral addictions, and several treatment considerations. Given that behavioral addictions affect individuals across the lifespan, this course is ideal for mental health professionals in all settings including schools, colleges, community agencies, hospitals, and private practice. 

Behavioral addictions are rewarding behaviors that become compulsive, out of control, continue despite negative consequences, and induce cravings or mental preoccupation. Like drugs of abuse, potentially addictive behaviors activate reward circuitry in the brain and are both positively and negatively reinforcing. Recent changes to diagnostic and disease classification manuals, in addition to growing concerns regarding the addictive nature of online activities, necessitate that all clinicians are able to recognize behavioral addictions in their clinical work. In addition, all mental health professionals must be equipped to respond ethically and effectively to behavioral addictions with a clear conceptualization guided by the most recent neuroscience. Participants can expect a robust overview of the criteria of behavioral addiction, the application of a public health model for conceptualizing addictive behaviors, individual risk factors for the development of behavioral addictions, and appropriate treatment approaches.

4. Opiate Use Disorder Treatment: a SUD Counselor’s Guide, Online Self-Study

Opiate abuse has become a significant problem for our country. Unlike many other substances, there are medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and recovery options for those that struggle with opiate use disorder. This can also create challenges as the traditional “abstinence-based” model of treatment may not be applicable for this population. This session will provide a broad overview of opiates and their differences; the different MAT options for clients; and how SUD counselors can best provide treatment services to them. Challenges with the abstinence-based model and the 12-step community will be explored. 

This session is specifically designed for counselors and will provide participants with basic understanding of MAT for opiate use disorder. Participants can expect to learn some fundamental strategies for working with this population and how to provide services within a group and individual setting as well as how MAT may fit into the treatment plan as a whole.

Once each course has been completed, the Certificate of Completion indicating CEs for that course will be issued.
