CCBHC ECHO Session: Co-Occurring Disorders

CCBHC ECHO Session: Co-Occurring Disorders On-Demand

Host: National Council / American Society of Addiction Medicine
Recorded: April 23, 2024
On-Demand Webinar

Overview

According to the Fourth Edition of the ASAM Criteria all programs should be co-occurring capable at a minimum. Making the treatment of co-occurring conditions an expectation, not an exception for all behavioral health and medical professionals. How programs define and discuss co-occurring care, including an overview of how to diagnose complex symptoms and deliver care from an interdisciplinary focus will be explored. In this session we will analyze pharmacotherapy and therapeutic best practices for the treatment of substance use disorders and mental health conditions and decision making strategies. We will take a deep dive into understanding the unique community barriers and successes when integrating care practices and take a look at key elements of co-occurring capabilities. 

CCBHC-E NTTAC has partnered with ASAM to provide a 6-session CCBHC ECHO on substance use. This 1.5-hour, virtual ECHO series offers a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of actual patient cases submitted by attendees. Participants can look forward to receiving guidance and feedback from a diverse panel of expert faculty. This program is tailored for professionals new to the field of addiction treatment, providing them with the means to enhance their knowledge, skills, and confidence. This introductory program is specifically designed for CCBHC grant recipients, including social workers, therapists, and additional clinical team members involved in patient care. Register for each session today!

Each ECHO session includes:

• A 30-minute presentation focused on a selected topic related to addiction.
• Two 20-minute interactive case discussions led by a team of interdisciplinary addiction experts.
• The opportunity to earn up to 1.5 continuing education (CE) credits for each session

This introductory program is specifically designed for CCBHC grant recipients, including social workers, therapists, and additional clinical team members involved in patient care.
