Behavioral Interventions for Substance Use Disorders: Improving Outcomes (2023)-Presentation:

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video is about Behavioral Interventions for Substance Use Disorder, specifically focusing on improving outcomes through evidence-based practices. The video is presented by Stacey Conroy, a licensed independent clinical social worker. The overarching goal of the PCSS (Provider Clinical Support System) is to train healthcare professionals in evidence-based practices for the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders. The video covers four evidence-based treatments: cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and 12-step facilitation. These modalities focus on skills such as identifying triggers and cravings, cognitive restructuring, and understanding and accepting one's values. The video emphasizes the importance of concurrent treatment for co-occurring disorders and the positive outcomes associated with improved functioning, symptom reduction, and overall quality of life. It also provides information on the role of medications for addiction treatment and the benefits and challenges of mutual self-help groups. The video concludes by discussing the different settings in which these interventions can be implemented and provides resources and references for further information.
