Event » 2024, April 23 & 25- Co-Occurring Disorders: An Overview of Prevalence, Assessment, Client Engagement, and Treatment Interventions

1. Direct care staff are often well versed in treating behavioral health disorders at the exclusion of SUDs or treat SUDs in isolation of other significant behavioral health concerns such as major depression, trauma, and anxiety. This workshop brings home the wholistic approach of treating the whole person as they present.
   
2. Fragmented treatment of only one disorder often leads to poor outcomes and high dropout rates
3. Those seeking treatment have a much better chance of healing and recovery with an integrated treatment approach that leads to meaningful goals that are important to the individual seeking help.

1. Participants will be able to identify at least two risk factors for co-occurring disorders when screening for COD and determining the need for further evaluation and diagnosis in the clinical setting.
2. Participants will be able to explain at least one reason why the best practice of treating co-occurring disorders is integrated treatment and at least one alternative way to proceed if that best practice of integrated treatment is not possible in the clinical setting. 
3. Participants will be able to apply the six dimensions of the ASAM assessment to guide service planning and treatment in the clinical setting.
4. Participants will be able to explain how to stage clients using the stages of change and identify what interventions to implement based on that stage when working with clients with COD.
5. Participants will be able specify appropriate use of the Motivational Interviewing Tool, Readiness, Importance, and Confidence Ruler, as well as prepare two questions to elicit change talk when working with clients with COD.
6. Participants will be able to explain what cultural competency looks like and why it is essential when working with clients with co-occurring disorders.
