Course Description: This course provides a framework for the necessary documentation, assessment, case conceptualization and treatment planning when working with clients with substance misuse and abuse. Client motivation and commitment to treatment begins with the assessment and diagnostic phase that typically occurs at intake. This course will consider the differences between screening and assessment and the use of assessment instruments. The class will educate students about components of the clinical assessment such as a bio-psychosocial interview, assessing risk for self­ harm, identifying cultural needs and supports, problem domains, determining the stage of readiness for change, and identifying strengths of the client. Determining the client’s diagnosis utilizing the DSM 5 criteria, and determining the level of care to best support a client using the ASAM criteria, will be discussed. Stages of treatment and systems of care will be covered along with facets of treatment planning. This course is provided by a BHA Approved Provider and will count toward the Colorado Certified Addiction Counselor Training Program.

I do my thing, and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, I am I,
And if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.
If not, it can’t be helped.
