This is an intermediate level training that is designed to provide context and interventions based in CBT treatment model for practitioners working with individuals who experience co-occurring substance use and trauma.The overlap between those who are in treatment for substance use disorder and those who have experienced trauma is considerable, with estimates ranging from 60-97%. Because of this, substance use treatment providers need both a working knowledge of the impacts of trauma both generally and on recovery, and interventions to address these two interconnected issues. This training will provide background information and a review of the evidence-based modalities that can address these two issues in concert for more effective treatment.

Following this training the participants will understand:

1. Reactions to trauma and ways in which substance use and trauma reactivity impact one another.

2. Identify strategies to improve engagement for individuals who experience co-occurring substance use and trauma.

3. Identify clinical strategies for treating substance use and trauma simultaneously for the best efficacy, including Seeking Safety, CPT and other trauma-informed treatment approaches.
