This workshop is designed to help clinicians working with clients who are experiencing symptoms of major depression and anxiety disorders in early recovery. Emphasis will be on utilizing the biopsychosocial model to construct a more complete picture of the client’s world, in order to facilitate differential diagnosis. Participants will gain an understanding of the neurochemistry involved in these disorders, as compared to that of the client in acute, or post-acute withdrawal from drugs and alcohol. Client strengths and person-in-environment perspectives will be utilized. Treatment approaches will be reviewed, especially evidenced-based protocols such as CBT and integrated treatment for the dually diagnosed client. Some less common, but effective treatment approaches will be proposed, such as holistic treatments like narrative therapy, art therapy, and nutrition. Participants may wish to bring case histories to share.
605 Practical Approaches to Cocaine Addiction Treatment
This workshop examines a form of chemical dependency which continues to grow. It has been seen historically as one of the more difficult to treat. However, ongoing research indicates that there are effective methods for the assessment and treatment of this problem. Research and case histories will be used to review these methods as well provide specific strategies and techniques for approaching this population and their problem.
606 Practical Approaches to Marijuana Addiction Treatment
This workshop focuses on the issues of the treatment of marijuana use, misuse and abuse through the use of cognitive behavioral approaches. General strategic approaches that work will be reviewed along with the rationale for their use. Specific interventions that have been demonstrated to be effective will be covered as well as a review of the available research into treatment approach efficacy. Participants will leave the workshop with treatment approaches they can implement in their setting.
This workshop will focus on the hidden dynamic that motives a person to sexually offend.

This workshop will benefit any professional who works with a street drug using population. It is designed to enhance participant knowledge of street drugs and their effects, physical and psychological. Attendees will increase their ability to recognize street drug use. They will learn safety methods to respond to users in crisis. The course will cover general concerns about street drugs, stimulants, depressants, narcotics/opiates, inhalants, hallucinogens and psychedelics. Jane Loisdaughter’s approach to this topic is refreshing and intellectually stimulating.
This workshop focuses on resilience, a quality that is seldom recognized when assessing the client. The biopsychosocial model will be used to understand how resilience develops over the life span. The treatment of addiction and mental illness is so often seen only from the perspective of pathology, rather than from clients' strengths. Increasingly, researchers are investigating the ways individuals develop normally, or even thrive, in the face of significant risk factors for psychopathology. Perspectives from positive psychology, medical anthropology, neurobiology, psychoneuroimmunology, Gestalt and 12-step recovery will be reviewed. The qualifities of the "survivor personality" and the role that story-telling plays in healing will be examined. Interventions to foster hope and build self-efficacy in client populations, as well as specific strategies to increase reilience will be covered.
The addiction to tobacco remains highly prevalent among the chemically dependent client and mental health client populations. In the past it has gone largely untreated for a variety of reasons. This workshop looks at the historical reasons for overlooking the problem, classic sources of resistance to smoking cessation, key elements in a smoking cessation program and some selected exercises useful with this population. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to address this continuing problem with their existing population. This workshop is appropriate to any service provider interested in intervening with this problem.
