When a client would benefit from outpatient therapy for their addiction, do clinicians have the confidence to assess, screen, and then treat substance and process addictions? From this presentation, participants will learn appropriate skills to diagnose addictions and assess client appropriateness for outpatient therapy. Participants will be also be provided with treatment strategies for working with clients with addictions such as parts work, treating foundational core beliefs, and somatic bridging techniques for treating the root traumas that lead clients to utilize addictive behaviors as a coping strategy. The speaker will also cover informed consent in working with substance use and the importance of appropriate documentation.
