18MH035 - Making Medication-Assisted Treatment More Meaningful: Using Evidence-based Practices to Promote Recovery

THIS EVENT IS NEAR CAPACITY

One of the challenges of Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) is that clients and counselors often focus on the medication and lose the balance of full recovery. This workshop will focus on how to use the evidence-based practices of motivational interviewing, Interactive Journaling®, cognitive behavioral treatment and the transtheoretical model of behavior change to broaden substance use disorder treatment beyond the “bio” (as in biopsychosocial) administration of the medication. It will help providers collaborate with clients to individualize substance use treatment based on the ASAM Criteria’s multidimensional assessment and develop person-centered services that hold clients accountable and attract them to recovery.

By registering for this conference, you are granting permission for your contact information to be shared with the NC Department of Health and Human Services Division of MH/DD/SAS, which is a joint provider of this continuing education activity.
