MFT-6812 - Systemic Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 12

In this course, you will develop a foundational and multidisciplinary understanding of co-existing disorders, or mental health issues that “co-occur” with substance abuse disorders. Medical, mental health, and substance abuse professionals are increasingly recognizing how their respective fields intersect when it comes to co-existing disorders, and a systemic perspective is uniquely suited to conceptualize and incorporate these elements in effective treatment. In this course, you will acquire an understanding of contextual factors behind the traditional separation of medical care, mental health, and substance abuse treatment. You will learn how to use the current literature to evaluate the nature and effectiveness of current treatment practices. You will also learn how to integrate systemic perspective, evaluation, and treatment models into multidisciplinary treatment approaches.
