More than 48 million Americans struggle with substance use disorder, and three out of every four do not receive the treatment they need.* Chances are, a portion of your patient base needs your help.

You’ll explore:

  • Motivational interviewing skills
  • Evidence-based principles that help you evaluate and treat patients with SUDs
  • Patient-centered approaches with a focus on destigmatizing language 
  • Harm-reduction philosophy to caring for patients and communities
