PRINCIPLES OF ADDICTION TREATMENT: an ADAD approved CAC I required course. This three-day introductory course
on Addictions Treatment provides a didactic and experiential format of learning about treatment modalities as well as
insight in to our own biases in treatment. The course reviews the history of addictions counseling and treatment and
emphasizes the current evidence-based approaches to counseling and treating the addicted person. Research evidence for
counseling models is provided, including support for client centered, counselor directed treatment. Participants leave with
an introduction to the different methods of treatment of addiction as well as a deeper understanding of what beliefs they
bring to counseling someone struggling with addiction.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY: This two-day class provides a theoretical foundation and a hands-on, experiential
approach to the understanding and mastery of the principles of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). CBT has repeatedly
been demonstrated to be an effective approach to changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that have been the source
of difficulties for most clients. Grounded in a respectful, collaborative relationship with the client, CBT therapists provide
the roadmap for their clients to make significant changes in their lives while also providing them with the tools and
strategies to address difficulties that arise in their future. Because the client is provided with methods for addressing
problems in the future, relapse rates for clients completing CBT are among the lowest in the mental health field.
USING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE IN CLIENT SUPERVISION: This workshop will cover the different skills and
methodologies for effective supervision and provide structured exercises for the participants to enhance their existing skills
and learn new ones. Current research on evidence-based practices in corrections emphasizes the integration of four
evidence-based practices – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Relapse Prevention, Motivational Interviewing, Contingency
Management and Social Network Enhancement. Live and taped skill demonstrations will be provided throughout the
workshop. These workshops are structured in different ways depending on the needs of the agency. It can be presented as
a series of short workshops, a two-day training, or a three-day training.
