  • 3 hours regular asynchronous online

Description

Ever since the 1980s, the “Big 3” approaches to addictions treatment have included (1) the 12-Step model, (2) Motivational Enhancement, and (3) Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. In 1989, Project MATCH, the largest research study of its kind at the time, sought to prove which was best. In the time since, elements of each have been shown to be effective and overlapping, such that today’s addictions professional is best equipped to assist their clients with a blended approach, while also including additional trauma-informed and trauma-specific elements.

Please note that this course is comprised of the content from Module 19 of the newly revised Addictions Certificate Program, Track 2.

Objectives

  1. Identify the key contributions of each of the 3 historical approaches to addictions treatment of the 12-Step model, Motivational Enhancement, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and how they can be combined.
  2. Identify newer elements from trauma-informed/trauma-specific care to include in a blended approach.
  3. Access 5 low-cost resources useful for training practitioners to learn to deliver evidence-based 12-Step Facilitation, Motivational Enhancement, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies, and Trauma-informed/-specific care to improve addiction treatment service outcomes.
