    This training was recorded on February 6, 2026

  • Training Information

    Even if you do not specialize in treating addiction, we all encounter substance use in our work as therapists. What we do not know can hurt our clients, and so it is essential that we know what the evidence says about substance use disorder. This three-hour training is focused on defining substance use disorders, understanding where they come from and the neurobiology behind them, identifying frequently co-occurring disorders, reviewing how to assess substance use and when to refer to a specialist/higher level of care, and an overview of evidence based treatments.

  • Training Objectives

    Define SUDs using DSM-5-TR criteria | Describe neurobiological, psychological, and environmental contributors| Apply evidence-based interventions | Identify ethical considerations for clinicians | Identify skills in relapse prevention and recovery support
