[Audio Download] BT06 Short Course 27 – Brief Treatment of Substance Use Disorders: Why Neither Brief nor Long is the Right Question – Michele Packard, PhD

Description:

In spite of concentrated efforts by federal agencies to remedy deficits outlined in the 1991 Institute of Medicine report on the state of substance abuse treatment in the US, and in spite of the fact that the best quality psychotherapy outcome and process studies have been conducted by addictions researchers, the field continues to be unable to implement its own Best Practices. This presentation will provide participants with a research-based menu of brief interventions that can be applied in a variety of settings.

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe two brief interventions that can be applied across a wide variety of settings.
2. To name the six "active ingredients" found to be effective in brief interventions.
