Overview
Substance use is a growing problem in the United States and around the world. Substance use disorders and other addictive behaviors are often exhibited with co-occurring health and mental health disorders and may include polysubstance use patterns. Often, clients who need help because of substance use disorders do not recognize the problem and are reluctant to seek treatment services. As helping professionals, it is imperative to know how to identify and assess clients and their families for substance use disorder and ensure they receive the appropriate level of evidence-based therapeutic intervention. Presented by Rhonda DiNovo, LMSW, Clinical Assistant Professor, University of South Carolina, College of Social Work, this workshop will examine the ethical standards and evidence-based practices involved in assessing and treating individuals and families with substance use disorders and the addictive and co-occurring disorders that so often accompany them.
