Description

This course integrates the prevailing clinical need for treating co-occurring mental health conditions with our program’s core philosophy. It directly addresses the gap between a primary addiction treatment focus and the complexity of modern residential clients.

Educational Goal

The educational goal of this workshop aims to equip clinicians with advanced skills to accurately identify and manage complex co-occurring mental health disorders within a 12-Step residential framework, focusing on the practical integration of evidence-based therapies with core spiritual principles.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate between SUD symptoms and common co-occurring mental health disorders (i.e., anxiety, personality disorders) in a residential setting.

  • Describe and apply specific Medication Management guidelines and their interaction with recovery motivation.

  • Develop techniques for utilizing 12-Step concepts (e.g., surrender, honesty, spiritual awakening) to support clients engaging in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills.
