Substance Use Disorder Treatment for the Family and the Use of Telehealth

Enroll in the Online Self-Study Course
3 CE Hours available for behavioral health clinicians

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.
