This course runs on PC

Course Description

This course is designed to improve practitioner’s abilities to assess, engage, and treat people with co-occurring mental health and substance use problems. Practical strategies and methods will be offered to help change interviewing methods, treatment planning and documentation, program components, range of services, and policies to better engage the dually diagnosed client.

Objective

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to: (1) identify clinical dilemmas in the assessment and treatment of dually diagnosed individuals; (2) learn assessment strategies, techniques and priorities to determine how to deal with alcohol and other drug use in those with mental illness and vice versa; (3) identify strategies to engage the client and to develop a treatment plan that meets the client’s individual needs and stage of readiness to change; and (4) identify the program, staff and systems necessary to develop person-centered services instead of perpetuating fragmented care for dually diagnosed clients
