This 2-day workshop is designed to give participants an overview of the substance abuse research and treatment field including information specific to psychoactive substances, modes of treatment and controversies in the field. Guidelines will be given for diagnosing dependence, abuse, and treating substance abusers from different theoretical perspectives (e.g., disease model, self-medication model or dual diagnosis model). Case studies will be presented and discussed. Clinicians will leave this seminar with an ability to use one dynamic model of treatment and with a better understanding of the changing nature of the field.
