Content of the course was drawn from following training manual: Fals-Stewart, W., O'Farrell, T. J., Birchler, G. R., & Gorman, C. (2004). Behavioral Couples Therapy for drug abuse and alcoholism: A 12-session manual. Buffalo, NY: Addiction and Family Research Group.

This four week online course is designed to assist those who provide training to counselors working with adolescents in substance use treatment programs or those who directly provide counseling to adolescents by addressing the unique challenges that counselors may have when they consider ways to begin to integrate assessment and treatment approaches to meet more fully the needs of youth with co-occurring mental disorders. While this curriculum can benefit counselors who are "entry level" in either working with adolescents or working in the field of substance treatment, it also provides a current review of some of the evidence-based and promising practices that support integrated interventions. This forum is designed to serve as a learning community for those who are implementing, who are thinking about implementing, or who have already implemented a project involving the use of Motivational Incentives (MI). Have you already implemented a MI Project? Share what you've learned with others who are attempting to implement new projects. Are you currently implementing or thinking about implementing a new MI project? Ask questions of others who have already experienced the successes and challenges of implementing projects. The purpose of a learning community is to support continuous learning, enhance content and develop instructional skills for trainers of the Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) Series 42 Curriculum from the Co-occurring Center of Excellence (COCE). This learning community is being constructed so that trainers have an opportunity to share training experiences, discuss training techniques and content areas surrounding TIP 42. The learning community is designed to allow the trainers to construct the topic areas that they would like to learn [1] . This learning community will take a dynamic format in that it will meet regularly and will use technology to communicate issues, questions and topics for discussion. [1] Wilson, B. & Ryder, M.

Training is a key tool in our efforts to unify science, service and policy. Utilizing several methods, IRETA provides two different types of training programs. The first is focused specifically on substance abuse training for addictions professionals who are in direct prevention, intervention or treatment roles in the provider community. The second is interdisciplinary training targeted at a broad range of professionals in the addictions field or in program and policy development. All training programs are designed to provide the most comprehensive and current information available, with the underlying premise that addiction is a chronic illness and recovery is the final, achievable goal. In our effort to support the addictions workforce, IRETA also works with various state, academic and professional organizations to obtain continuing education accreditation for all practicing professionals, when possible. |
