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.

Course content applies to various client populations (i.e., addiction, mental health, etc.) and is relevant for services provided in a variety of settings (clinics, shelters, jails, etc.).
