This 3-hour live virtual training will provide participants with introductory level instruction on the treatment of methamphetamine and cocaine use disorders. The training will be divided into three sections. Part 1 will focus on stimulants – what are they and who uses them?; Part 2 will focus on the impact of stimulant use on the brain and body; and Part 3 will focus on effective treatment approaches and recovery supports.

At the conclusion of the training, participants will be able to:

1. Apply an understanding of national patterns and trends in stimulant use.

2. Describe three key differences between cocaine and methamphetamine.

3. Recognize physical and cognitive impact associated with stimulant use.

4. Recommend two specific behavioral treatment interventions.
