Diagnosis and Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders (6 CE Hours)

Overview
Curriculum
Reviews

This comprehensive 6-hour training addresses the complex clinical reality of Co-Occurring Disorders (COD), where substance use and mental health disorders exist simultaneously. Designed specifically for Texas Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors (LCDCs), this course moves beyond the "siloed" treatment approach to an Integrated Treatment model. Participants will explore the etiology of comorbidity, master differential diagnosis using DSM-5-TR criteria, and develop robust treatment plans that address both conditions concurrently. The curriculum emphasizes evidence-based interventions such as Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while strictly adhering to Texas BHEC regulations and the ethical mandates of HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2.
