Description

The DSM 5 added “cravings” to the criteria for substance use disorders in 2015 and the impact of trauma on the addicted brain is becoming better understood. The goals for this workshop are to explore the intersection of cravings management and how trauma could impact this process. Participants should expect to discuss cravings management techniques, review the literature on trauma’s impact on learning and elicit a discussion of multifaceted approaches that have worked for those on the front lines of SUD treatment. This dynamic presentation is both experiential and educational with the use of mixed-media and pop-culture references.

Educational Goal

The educational goal of this workshop is to increase knowledge about cravings management techniques, review the literature on trauma’s impact on learning, and elicit a discussion of multi-faceted approaches.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify one way the addition of "cravings" to the DSM 5-TR impacts the work of SUD treatment.

  • Compare and contrast four craving types.

  • Identify one way trauma impacts learning.
