From Science to Solutions: What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Substance Use
Even if you do not specialize treating addiction, we all encounter substance use in our work as therapists. What we do not know can hurt our clients, and so it is essential that we know what the evidence says about substance use disorder. This three-hour training is focused on defining substance use disorders, understanding where they come from and the neurobiology behind them, identifying frequently co-ocurring disorders, reviewing how to assess substance use and when to refer to a specialist/higher level of care, and an overview of evidence based treatments.

Inclusive Insight is a place that is as healing for our healers as it is for our clients. We believe humans thrive in connection and community, feeling seen and heard for who they are and what they have experienced. We are a diverse group of clinicians and inspiration-makers who know that to hold others in their process, we must also feel held. Staff are experts in their own identities, lives and careers. We are better clinicians by bringing our whole selves to our work.
