Facilitated by Forrest “Rusty” Foster
Group treatment is an effective modality for the provision of integrated treatment for people with co-occurring disorders. Integrating both mental health and addiction treatment in the same group leads to improve client outcomes. This webinar will review the principles of stage-based integrated treatment groups and review a variety of treatment curricula, manuals and workbooks specifically developed for stage-based groups.
This Interactive Webinar will build on the information contained in the
Focus on Integrated Treatment (FIT) online training modules:
Stage-Wise Treatment Groups, Persuasion Groups and Active Treatment and Relapse Prevention Groups.
In this interactive Webinar, we will:
- Review the principles of stage-based integrated treatment groups
- Discuss the benefits of stage-based treatment groups
- Identify current integrated group treatment curricula, manuals and workbooks designed for people with co-occurring disorders
- Share experiences in using specific curricula and manuals
This Webinar is interactive. You can ask questions and share your experiences in working with clients with co-occurring disorders.
