Substance Use Disorder: The Essentials of Diagnosis
Substance Use Disorder: The Essentials of Diagnosis is organized by E Care Behavioral Health Institute.
Overview:
Join Corey Pitts, MA, LCMHC, LCAS in an informative/collaborative webinar in efforts to gain insight in reducing jargon surrounding the use of diagnosis and diagnostic criteria within the realm of substance use diagnosing! Portions of DSM 5 will be unpacked, specifically, consideration and discussion of CNS Depressants, CNS Stimulants, Perception Distorting Drugs, Narcotics, as well as Nicotine.
This discussion will provide insight into the categories of a substance use disorder, differentiating between use disorder, abuse, and dependence (among other areas), as well as ways in which to apply such knowledge through the use of case conceptualizations.
Objectives:
• Dispel jargon surrounding diagnostic criteria associated with substance use disorder diagnostic criteria, presenting symptoms, etc.
• Discuss the proper assessment techniques in conjunction with the substance use disorder criterion.
• Collaborate surrounding application, viewing certain case studies to encapsulate typology.
