Using SBIRT to Address Substance Use in Mental Health Settings
The Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) includes substance use disorders along with a myriad of other psychiatric conditions that have similar symptomology. Screening for substance use can help to discern between symptoms that may seem to result from a mental health condition but may actually be substance use related. By incorporating screening, brief interventions and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in practice, clinicians can identify and intervene with individuals who are experiencing psychosocial or health conditions related to their substance use.
This interactive learning event will review intersections of psychoactive substances and mental illness, impact on mental illness diagnosis and treatment, and benefits of how SBIRT can augment successful outcomes for individuals with co-occurring disorders.
For trainings that indicate Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available, contact the organizer and/or the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation to verify that the credits will count toward the continuing education requirements of your licensure or certification.
