This course simplifies the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria for substance use disorders into a clear, easy-to-learn format - making it easier to assess and diagnose accurately (no memorization marathons required). More importantly, it focuses on the real-world skills every clinician needs to shine as a true "rock-star" assessor. The DSM-5 shook things up by revamping diagnostic criteria, restructuring categories, and introducing Substance Use Disorder as a unified diagnosis. This course is grounded in these gold-standard updates because, well, they matter. Yes, the DSM-5-TR introduced a text revision that offered some touch-ups - but nothing that shifted the landscape for substance use assessment. And while diagnostic manuals will change and evolve, this course is focused on timeless assessment skills that remain essential across all settings, client populations, and DSM editions. You'll Learn: The biggest barriers to accurately assessing and how to overcome them; How to ask meaningful questions and build rapport; How to work effectively with clients who are resistant, guarded, or defensive; Methods to guide conversations that lead to honest, insightful responses; The Stages of Addiction and how to use them for prevention and treatment planning; How to navigate and translate the diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders.

E CARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INSTITUTE

This EMDR certification training is designed to give clinicians a strong, practical foundation in working with trauma through both a neurobiological and relational lens. Rather than focusing only on protocol, this course helps participants truly understand what is happening in the brain and body when clients are overwhelmed by trauma. We will explore how traumatic experiences shape the nervous system, contribute to symptoms such as hyperarousal, dissociation, and affect dysregulation, and influence long-term patterns in health, behavior, and relationships. Concepts such as Polyvagal Theory, attachment, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are woven throughout to help clinicians better understand the "why" behind what they see in session. From there, the training moves into clinical application. Participants will learn how to assess trauma presentations more accurately, differentiate between diagnoses such as PTSD, complex trauma, and borderline personality disorder, and use that understanding to guide treatment planning. Emphasis is placed on readiness, stabilization, and pacing ensuring that clients have the internal resources needed before moving into trauma processing. Clinicians will practice a range of somatic and imagery-based interventions, including resourcing, containment, and mindfulness strategies, to support safety and regulation throughout the therapeutic process. The second half of the training focuses on developing competence and confidence in EMDR itself. Participants will learn Shapiro's Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, the eight-phase protocol, and the use of bilateral stimulation, while also exploring modifications for complex and developmental trauma. Additional protocols for addictions and compulsive behaviors will be introduced. Through demonstration and guided practice, clinicians will build their ability to apply EMDR in a way that is attuned, flexible, and client-centered integrating nervous system regulation, attachment awareness, and clinical judgment to support meaningful and lasting healing.

Many clients struggle with an underlying fear of abandonment or rejection that drives patterns of emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and difficulty maintaining secure connections. These patterns often present as clinging, testing, withdrawal, or avoidance in both personal relationships and the therapeutic relationship, and can interfere with treatment progress if not accurately understood. This 6-hour training provides mental health professionals with a structured framework for understanding how attachment disruptions and early relational experiences contribute to fear of rejection and abandonment-related patterns across the lifespan. Participants will examine the development of insecure attachment styles, including anxious and avoidant patterns, and how these dynamics influence emotional regulation, interpersonal functioning, and treatment engagement. The training will focus on identifying abandonment-related schemas and behavioral patterns, recognizing how these dynamics emerge in session, and understanding their impact on the therapeutic alliance. Participants will learn evidence-informed strategies to support emotional regulation, increase relational safety, and help clients develop more secure attachment patterns. Clinicians will be introduced to integrative treatment approaches drawn from attachment-based therapy, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and emotion regulation strategies. Case examples will be used to support clinical application and to enhance the ability to respond effectively to clients who struggle with trust, closeness, and fear of rejection. Designed for licensed mental health professionals seeking practical, immediately applicable tools to improve outcomes with clients experiencing attachment-related difficulties and abandonment fears.

Our entire country, with 95% of states creating legislation related to marijuana, is evolving its marijuana supply chain via the recreational and "medical" formulations. Yet, we as healthcare professionals are left with barely any education on these substances. More education is needed in order to actually provide tangible life-saving, or at least life-improving, patient education. Marijuana has been around for centuries and has never received more limelight than in recent years with respect to 95% of our country's states enacting legislation regarding "recreational" and/or "medical" marijuana, even though it remains a Federal DEA Controlled Substance Class One agent. So, how does that work in the criminal field? Better yet, how do we as healthcare professionals discuss such substances with our patients? This activity discusses all things cannabis, including botany concepts, legal concepts, and pharmacological concerns that every healthcare professional absolutely needs to know to provide "high" quality patient care.

This 1-hour credit course is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education and Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, approximately 3.8 million people (1.4% of those ages 12 or older) reported misusing prescription pain relievers while another 329,000 people reported using heroin. Within the same year, 52,404 lethal overdoses took place, making drug overdose the leading cause of accidental death within the United States. Stancliff et al estimated that as of 2012, approximately 80% of people dependent on heroin or prescription opioids were not engaged in any treatment and many in treatment do not use the most effective medication-assisted treatments available to them. Despite recent increased awareness of opioid use disorder (OUD) and efforts to improve access to care, several barriers to treatment still exist, including financial, geographic, regulatory, and social. In 2012, only 2.2% of physicians in the United States obtained waivers to prescribe buprenorphine for the treatment of OUD. Of those who received waivers, 41.6% were psychiatrists. This may be perceived as a potential barrier to OUD treatment as patients are often resistant to referrals to psychiatric and/or addiction clinics given the stigmas commonly surrounding addiction and mental health. Furthermore, physicians with waivers were found to practice primarily in urban settings, leaving a large portion of the rural population without access to buprenorphine treatment. With all this in mind, education is needed in regards to current and emerging treatment options for OUD available to multiple patient populations. Also, with the deaths due to drug overdoses still elevated, education on how to recognize and reverse an opioid overdose is needed. This presentation will address the above needs by discussing the science behind opioid use disorder as well as reflect upon current statistics associated with its impact on the United States. During the discussion, opioid overdose risks will be discussed and participants will be able to practice recognizing key symptoms of an overdose situation. Steps of using naloxone will be discussed and connected to how to appropriately seek out treatment for maintenance of opioid use disorder. Finally, new buprenorphine products and the potential role of naltrexone will be applied to this stigmatized population.
