ECHO Counseling Techniques for Substance Use Disorders
1st and 3rd Thursdays, Noon – 1:00 p.m. MST
This ECHO Idaho series helps counselors and clinicians provide high quality care for individuals in their own communities with substance use disorders (SUDs).
SUDs can cost more than $740 billion annually in health care expenses, lost workplace productivity and crime-related costs. Therefore, SUD education is a tool to help reduce costs to society and improve public health.
Participating in this series means you will learn best practices in SUD treatment, receive detailed feedback on complex client cases and collaborate with other professionals across the state to identify approaches and resources for advancing client care.
Hour-long, virtual sessions are convenient, engaging and immediately applicable to your practice. This series features a specialist panel of interdisciplinary subject matter experts in clinical professional counseling, certified alcohol and drug counseling, peer recovery coaching, case management, psychiatry and addiction medicine.
Target Audience
Designed for bachelor and master-level counselors (LCSW, LCPC, LMSW, LPC, CADC, etc.), this series is also open to others in the treatment field including physicians, recovery coaches, case managers, etc.
