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 any other staff members who want simply to learn more about this issue. Topics covered include: drugs and their effects, current trends, screening and assessment, warning signs, an overview of substance-related disorders as defined in the DSM-5, treatment strategies such as relapse prevention, harm reduction and motivational interviewing, dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders, referral information and more.
Attendees should leave this training with a solid basic understanding of how recognize and treat people with substance-related problems and how to differentiate them from people who use drugs without significant problems.
