Course Description

What is the most common co-existing condition among those with psychoactive substance use disorders? How does one distinguish between blackouts and dissociation? When is it confabulation or memory failure due to intoxication? What are the specifics in evaluating and treating depression or anxiety with substance involved patients? Using current literature this program overviews incidence and prevalence information, and contraindications for treatment where psychoactive substance use disorders are co-present with mental and nervous disorders. Specifically, the study will include the DSM criteria for determining diagnosis, various statistics on addictions clients that may present with co-existing disorders, and information concerning the concomitance, co-occurrence, and co-morbidity of these disorders in the addictions population. Later sections discuss mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, psychotic disorders and other problems that present among those with addictions and other populations.

Objectives:

1. Participants will be able to list two criteria defining co-existing conditions

2. Participants will be able to identify DSM-IV criteria for mood disorders; anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and selected other conditions with high co-morbid prevalence with psychoactive substance abuse disorders.

3. Participants will be able to describe the incidence and prevalence of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, selected other conditions across the psychoactive substance abuse disorders.

4. Participants will be able to distinguish antecedent, and precipitous relationships between mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders; personality disorders, selected other conditions and the psychoactive substance abuse disorders.

5. Participants will be able to identify at least three key elements in the differential diagnosis with those who have mood disorders; anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, or selected other conditions in combination with a psychoactive substance abuse disorder.

Overview of the whole series:

Increasingly in substance abuse service delivery, assessment, intervention and prevention supported by science is being required. Evidence-based best practices permit increased efficacy, a better utilization of all resources and reduce recidivism. This six module series is provided to bring such science-based assessment, prevention and intervention information to the substance abuse intervention specialist. The text for this series is: the Cannabis Youth Treatment Series: Volume 1-5. (SAMHSA/CSAT: www.samhsa.gov) Please note that while the title of the treatment manual series pertains to cannabis abuse and dependency problems we assert that the practices described in these manuals constitute valid best practices for early intervention (prevention), outpatient and intensive outpatient intervention with youth who are abusing alcohol, and other drugs. Youth who meet dependency criteria for alcohol, opiates, other habit-forming drugs and cocaine will require a more intense level of care than the models described in this manual.

Overview of this module:

Module One: Adolescent Substance Abuse Assessment (6 CE Credits) overviews assessment information and protocol geared toward the evidence-based substance abuse models recommended for use with adolescents. (Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Community Reinforcement, Family Support Network and Multi-systemic Family Therapy - SAMHSA/CSAT: www.samhsa.gov)) The module approaches assessment as a function of the care continuum from prevention: identifying risk and protective factors to comprehensive assessment including diagnosis, and placement determination. Learners can expect to become familiar with science determined risk and protective factors, screening, completing the diagnostic work-up, and the Global Assessment of Functioning scale. The elements of comprehensive assessment are described including objective, prospective and inferential measures, the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, and assessment protocol. Learners will learn the features of the integrated summary. Assessment information is crucial to making an accurate placement decision. The study guide will familiarize learners with the ASAM Adolescent levels of Care and discusses the six dimensions used in making placement determinations. The study also discusses the importance of understanding the potential for co-morbid conditions and provides reference sheets for use in interviewing to identify various additional problems that may co-present with adolescent substance abusers. The study provides a discussion of ethical, legal and confidentiality issues that all assessment professionals need to understand when working with minor clients.

Objectives:

1. Participants will be able identify the three prongs of substance abuse assessment

2. Participants will be able to discuss how adolescent clients differ from adult clients

3. Participants will be able to identify substance abuse risk and protective factors

4. Participants will be able to list the six ASAM dimensions
