Screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment approaches are utilized in a variety of care settings. SBIRT has been shown to be effective in primary care settings, where it is incorporated into other routine medical assessments such as measuring blood pressure. It has been proven particularly effective in hospital emergency departments and trauma centers with individuals with alcohol-related injuries. This training focuses on screening procedures to identify risk; key motivational interviewing concepts and principles that are tied to effective use of the FLO (Feedback; Listen and Understand; Options Explored) brief intervention; and referral to treatment for patients with more serious substance use-related problems. The training seeks to increase the number of primary care providers who can serve as champions to broaden the effective use and implementation of SBIRT in primary care settings throughout California.

Part 1: June 26 & 27, 2018; Concepts and Practice Welcome! Congratulations on making the decision to train others in SBIRT. As you well know, SBIRT is effective in terms of many important factors; cost, quality of life, increased health, fewer injuries, and loss of life. For more information, see the SAMHSA information sheet: Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral To Treatment (SBIRT) in Behavioral Health Care (https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/sbirtwhitepaper_0.pdf) Through your participation in this program, you'll be preparing to deliver training on an evidence-based approach that has been shown to work. In order for SBIRT to work, the interventionists have to do it with fidelity to the model. We'll be working hard to prepare you to train successful interventionists.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Substance Use Disorders (SUD) was initially directed toward preventing relapse to problematic drinking, and was later adapted for use with cocaine-dependent individuals. Since then it has become a mainstay of evidence-based SUD treatment. CBT for substance use disorders has demonstrated efficacy by itself and as part of combination treatment strategies.
At the conclusion of the training, participants will be able to:
1. Discuss key principles of classical and operant conditioning, social learning theory, and behavioral modeling
2. Describe how these key principles form the foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention (RP)
3. Define drug refusal skills, abstinence violation syndrome, and cognitive reframing. Then discuss how these critical concepts can be incorporated into individual and group CBT sessions
4. Define the “5 W’s” of a client’s drug use and demonstrate how to conduct a relapse analysis

Over the last 30 years, research has shown that family-based interventions are effective in combination with substance use disorder (SUD) treatment; however, integration of the two approaches remain relatively rare. This training will examine some of the common challenges found in engaging families of adolescents in family-based interventions for SUD treatment. It will discuss reasons families tend to avoid joining their loved one's therapy and demonstrate strategies to increase their motivation to do so. A review of several family-based interventions will highlight those that fall within the scope of practice of SUD counselors. Lastly, recognizing when to make referrals to a trained family therapist, in addition to suggestions to improve the coordination of care between SUD providers and family therapists, will be offered.

According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, over 20 million people in 2015, met the criteria for substance use disorder, (SUD). Research shows that a greater amount is at high risk levels of consumption and related health problems. This interactive training will review SUD diagnosis criteria, the impact of SUD on the brain and compulsivity factor, as well as specific signs and symptoms for alcohol and opioid use disorders (AUD, OUD). The content will further explain how medication assisted treatment (MAT) works, why it’s the most effective treatment for OUD and AUD, and includes skills building activities that will help providers to effectively inform clients on how MAT increases a person’s opportunity for sustainability of their recovery.
The steadily increasing opioid overdose death rates add to the urgency of the opioid epidemic as a public health crisis, with Hispanic, African American and American Indian communities reflecting detrimental opioid death rate increases of their own, 137%, 213%, and 236% prospectively.
Research has demonstrated that medication assistance treatment (MAT) along with behavioral interventions, (Addiction counseling, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Recovery Support Services, etc.), is the most effective approach to treat opioid use disorders, (OUD). This interactive training will review how MAT works to address alcohol and opioid use disorders, the benefits of MAT to decrease overdoses and overdose deaths, increase social functioning and treatment retention, and enhance the pathway to sustainable recovery.
This training will provide information on the consequences of substances commonly used by consumers and will introduce participants to the epidemiology and prevalence, and neurobiology of co-occurring disorders. Substance use disorder (SUD) is a diagnostic term referring to recurrent use of alcohol or other drugs (AOD) that causes “clinically and functionally significant” impairment, i.e., work, school, home, and health. Addiction is a term used to indicate the most severe, chronic stage of SUD, when there is substantial loss of self-control, indicated by compulsive drug-taking despite the desire to stop using the substance. This training will explore the neurobiological basis of SUDs and provide information on the medical consequences of substance use.

Research data indicate higher rates of trauma among justice-involved persons than the general population. The effects of traumatic experiences can challenge a person’s capacity to recover and poses significant barriers to accessing services often resulting in an increased risk of coming into contact with the criminal justice system.
This interactive training instructs on what trauma is, how to avoid re-traumatizing individuals in judicial practice and within criminal justice systems, create safety for them and practitioners, potential to decrease recidivism, and promote and support recovery of justice-involved persons.
This training will be highly experiential and utilize small groups, video, case studies, and provide opportunities to re-write "cookie cutter" treatment plans and progress notes. Participants will leave with practical tools to make treatment planning and progress note writing easier and more useful to their counseling practice. *** This is a closed event.
