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

Enroll in the Online Self-Study course and complete it at your own pace.
3 CE hours available for behavioral health clinicians upon completion.

When a loved one struggles with addiction, the whole family suffers—and so does the clinician who wants to help but feels unprepared. Substance use disorder (SUD) isn’t an isolated diagnosis; it’s a ripple that disrupts relationships, erodes trust, and generates a complex system of emotional, behavioral, and psychological consequences.

This compelling self-study course provides behavioral health professionals with effective strategies for intervening in the family system, using clinical models and telehealth solutions that ease access to care. Discover a new path forward for the families you serve.
