This comprehensive 8-hour course provides a rigorous "deep dive" into the essential competencies required for effective addiction counseling, aligned with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Technical Assistance Publication (TAP) 21. Designed specifically for Texas LCDCs, LPCs, and LMFTs, this training bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical application. Participants will explore the transdisciplinary foundations of addiction, master evidence-based screening and assessment protocols, and refine treatment planning skills utilizing ASAM criteria. The curriculum also addresses critical modern challenges, including co-occurring disorders, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and the ethical delivery of telehealth services under Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) rules. Upon successful completion of the post-test, hours are reported directly to CE Broker.
