Substance Use Disorder and Treatment Needs for the Justice-Involved

Thursday, July 28, 2022

1 pm – 4 pm. 

3 CEs

Using the ASAM Criteria as the foundation of efforts to improve treatment for substance use disorder amongst the justice-involved population (individuals who have had interactions with the criminal justice system as a defendant), social workers will be able to;

• Understand acute intoxication and withdrawal potential amongst the justice-involved population.
• Explore & assess the biomedical conditions and complications faced by the justice-involved with substance use disorder.
• Assess emotional, behavioral, or cognitive conditions and complications.
• Understand and assess the stages of change.
• Assess relapse, continued use, or continued problem potential amongst the justice-involved population.
• Assess how environmental factors such as living arrangements and social support systems impact recovery. 

In addition to the six dimensions of the ASAM criteria, this training will also include a wellness piece that will educate and provide social work practitioners with the tools to practice healthy habits on a regular basis to attain better health and wellbeing. 

This webinar will be held on Zoom, with captioning on. All registrants will be emailed course materials and log in information two days prior to the event.
