Mental health, substance use and co-occurring
disorder counseling and clinical staff; during portions of the training we
strongly encourage attendance from administrative and clinical
leadership, intake/registration, and quality and compliance departments
The goal of the counselor implementation training is to help clinicians
apply the evidence-based programs in the Co-Occurring Disorders
Program to deliver the best possible services to persons with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
• use protocol-driven screening methods that consider each patient’s
symptoms, history, and motivation to change
• combine Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) to engage,
assist, and sustain change
• use CBT to address common psychiatric problems, such as depression,
anxiety, PTSD and others
• convey vital and current information on medication compliance,
stigma, and other psychopharmacological issues
• understand program philosophy and clinical principles in the family
program component of the CDP
• apply CDP to a variety of clinical situations
