Description:

Well over 100,000 Americans are dying each year from a drug overdose and rates of heavy drinking are higher than ever. Despite this, our services only ever reach about 1 of every 10 people who could use them. Current methods and service models are failing to meet critical needs. The vast majority of people experience mild to moderate impacts from the substance(s) they use, which can be adequately addressed in outpatient settings. It is understandable why both practitioners and those looking for help are seeking better alternatives to the status quo. In this webinar, we present a model that is grounded in harm reduction, person-centered care, and scientifically supported practice. Therapists, counselors, and allied helping professionals can enhance their current practice to better serve people seeking treatment for problems related to substance use.

This webinar will preview a new three-day intensive workshop CPT is launching in April 2024: Demystifying Addiction: An Intensive Workshop Series to Enhance Your Practice (18 CE Hours). Participants will experience interactive workshops to delve deeper into concepts and skills to enhance their competency to serve those impacted by addiction.
