Description
- Strategies from CBT, DBT and other evidence-based psychotherapies
- Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT): Effectively combine medication with therapeutic interventions
- Formulate treatment plans for opioid use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders with an integrated whole-person approach
Painkillers can kill more than just pain. Death from opioid overdoses have bypassed those from motor vehicle accidents. Dangerous synthetic drugs have flooded the streets — someone’s first use may be their last.
Ruined lives, broken families, incarceration, and premature death. These are the extreme, life destroying consequences of opioid addiction. And opioids do not discriminate. Everyday problems like back pain, even a toothache, can lead a person down the path of opioid abuse. It can happen to anyone.
Your connection to the issue is personal – witnessing the tortured deterioration of clients, friends, and family struggling with addiction. You want to help, but knowing about other types of addiction isn’t enough. Opioid use disorders are distinct from other substance abuse disorders; a combination of brain change and physical dependence have created an epidemic of unprecedented proportions. Complicating things further, most individuals with opioid use disorders have at least one co-occurring mental health problem that must be addressed.
Are you prepared to end the suffering and tackle the unique and complex challenges of opioid addiction?
Board-certified psychiatrist, published author, and clinical trainer Dr. Charles Atkins has in-depth personal experience helping clients grappling with the devastating effects of opioid use disorder. Join him as he walks you through the specifics of how to craft effective evidence-based treatment strategies to treat opioid addiction and co-occurring disorders.
Watch this vital seminar and walk away with:
- Diagnostic criteria and public-domain screening tools.
- Psychotherapeutic strategies and supports tailored to achieve positive treatment outcomes in those with opioid use disorder.
- Options for combining Medication Assisted Treatment with psychotherapeutic approaches.
- Fully integrated treatment plans for opioid use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Get the tools and techniques you need to help your clients before it’s too late!
