Replenishing Practitioner Hope: Effectively and Ethically Treating Persons with Dual Disorders: Mental Illnesses and Substance Use" Fee: $75; $90 after 7/26 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm CST If we take an honest inventory, most practitioners in the related treatment fields of substance use disorders, mental health, and dual disorders will admit having experienced frustration around ethical dilemmas, and a sense of ineffectiveness when trying to assist clients with severe mental illnesses and substance use problems. This workshop will help clinicians reframe what we do and why we do it, shoring up our boundaries and replenishing our own hope for the eventual successful dual recovery of even our most challenged clients. Experience a renewed sense of freedom to ethically assist others without taking on the responsibility of working their recovery programs for them. Come prepared to informally share and problem-solve, as a group, baffling dual disorder scenarios from your practice. Lastly, refresh your language and conceptualization of substance use disorders utilizing the DSM-5 terminology and ideology (APA, 2013). Participants will be able to: Detect and ethically treat the symptoms of persons with dual and multiple disorders Feel more empathy for consumers who have dual and multiple disorders, allowing them greater “self-determination” Apply treatment techniques they learn from the instructor and from other practitioners with this population Exercise better self-care and boundaries with their own clients and thus better protect themselves from burnout CEUs: 3.0 ethics CEUs / 3.0 contact hours.

This workshop seeks to transform required “paperwork” into clinically useful information.  There are many tools for the assessment of substance use-related disorders, such as the Addiction Severity Index (ASI).  Addiction counselors working in community-based treatment centers often find that the instruments are time-consuming and not useful in helping to identify client problems, develop individualized treatment plans, or make referrals matched to client needs.  This workshop will review the use of assessment instruments and help counselors integrate the information into well-designed, individualized treatment plans.  Presented by: Jim Bradley, MSSW
