Recorded on Wednesday, April 20, 2022
Jump to Course Contents
Description
Traditional treatment is designed for those with a severe alcohol use disorder, leaving the majority experiencing problems without appropriate services. With the DSM-5 now viewing substance use disorders on a spectrum, clinicians need resources appropriate for all levels of alcohol use. There is over 50 years of research that supports the harm reduction strategy of alcohol moderation as an effective treatment option. Upon completion, attendees will be able to: describe why harm reduction is an effective treatment option, predict who is a candidate for alcohol moderation using the Alcohol Moderation Assessment, develop and monitor an alcohol moderation plan, and utilize alcohol moderation tools.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to describe two ways why harm reduction is an effective treatment option for the majority of alcohol users.
- Participants will be able to predict in three different ways who is a candidate for alcohol moderation using the Alcohol Moderation Assessment.
- Participants will be able to develop and monitor an alcohol moderation plan using at least three different tools.
