Description
In this training, the practitioner will gain knowledge of the history of substance abuse treatment in our country and learn new ways in which the LMHC can distinguish themselves as the addiction specialists. This training will take a critical look at the disease model of addiction and the 12-step model. Finally, this training will show the LMHC practitioner how their approach to counseling for other disorders, may just be what is needed to turn around our current crisis in addiction treatment.
Objective 1 - Participants in this training will learn a short history of addiction treatment in the United States.
Objective 2 - Participants will learn how 12-models of addiction are religiously based and forced participation is discriminatory.
Objective 3 - Participants will learn how labeling and the disease model of addiction and is flawed and has done harm in our society.
Objective 4 - Participants will learn how they can use their own approach to counseling to treat addiction issues without infusing religion or requiring external locus of control.
