This on-demand professional training program on Alcohol and Substance Use Disorder Detection and Treatment: Foundational Knowledge is presented by Nancy A. Haug, PhD.

This program covers the foundations of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment, including etiological theories of substance use, commonly used substances, basic psychopharmacology, the prevalence of SUDs, assessment methods, diagnostic criteria, and clinical presentations.

Participants acquire the essential principles of addiction and a theoretical framework from which to plan treatment for specific patients, substances, and co-occurring conditions. Subsequent sessions build upon this program by presenting prevention and intervention approaches, cultural considerations, ethical and legal concerns, referral and community resources, and treatment for at-risk populations.

The 3-hour course is structured to meet the California psychologist pre-licensure coursework requirement for training in alcoholism and chemical dependency detection and treatment (§1382.3). Participants may be clinicians, counselors, or mental health providers at any stage of their career who work in a clinical environment where clients present with substance use or misuse as a primary or co-occurring condition.
