WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:
"Trauma Informed approaches to Treating Co-Occurring Disorders" is an overview of the science of how trauma affects the brain, creating an environment for substance abuse to be rewarding and therefore perpetuating the infinite cycle of a dual disorder. This is a workshop to gain an understanding of how imperative it is that professionals and caregivers treat both disorders simultaneously in order to help individuals stabilize and heal from both the substance abuse and the trauma.
The first day will cover information regarding trauma, PTSD and the connections between substance abuse disorders and the appropriate responses to trauma symptoms. The second day will offer information regarding the utilization of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to treat individuals with co-occurring disorders to assist counselors in effective treatment planning.
Participants can choose either one day or experience the combination of the two days.
