  • understand acute intoxication and withdrawal potential amongst the aging population;
  • explore & assess the biomedical conditions and complications faced by the aging population with substance use disorder;
  • assess emotional, behavioral, or cognitive conditions and complications;
  • understand and assess the stages of change
  • assess relapse, continued use, or continued problem potential amongst the aging population; and
  • assess how environmental factors such as living arrangements and social support systems impact recovery.
In addition to the six dimensions of the ASAM criteria, this training will also include a wellness piece that will educate and provide social work practitioners with the tools to practice healthy habits on a regular basis to attain better health and wellbeing.
