Co-Occurring Substance Use and Trauma

This 2.5-hour intermediate level training is designed to provide context and interventions based in CBT treatment model for practitioners working with individuals who experience co-occurring substance use and trauma. The overlap between those who are in treatment for substance use disorder and those who have experienced trauma is considerable, with estimates ranging from 60-97%. Because of this, substance use treatment providers need both a working knowledge of the impacts of trauma both generally and on recovery, and interventions to address these two interconnected issues. This training will provide background information and a review of the evidence-based modalities that can address these two issues in concert for more effective treatment.
