Beyond the Bud: Ethics of Treating Frequent Users of Legal Marijuana

Beyond the Bud: Ethics of Treating Frequent Users of Legal Marijuana

Date course created: August 2024

Counseling clients who regularly use legal marijuana for both medicinal and recreational purposes is a nuanced and evolving area of practice, especially considering the changing cultural landscape around marijuana in various regions. Legalized marijuana has added ethical and legal complexities to an already challenging landscape of substance use disorder (SUD) and integrated dual diagnoses treatment (IDDT). In addition to the increasing importance of knowing the laws in your area of practice, the marijuana landscape presents new important considerations in both practice models and clinician subjective world view regarding clients who habitually use legal marijuana. Abstinence versus harm reduction and values bracketing is at the forefront of treatment considerations for clients habitually using marijuana – now legalized, decriminalized, and often enjoyed medicinally. Biases around marijuana use and its legality, in many cases, are at the heart of client distress in their relationships, employment, and educational achievement. Related legal conflicts is another ethical challenge to consider in treating this population (despite the legality of a substance at the state level).

How do clinicians with a bias against legal marijuana recognize and address the clinical concerns around a client’s heavy use while still upholding their ethical obligation to preserve client autonomy and honor the ethical principles of beneficence and non-maleficence?

Please join us to increase your knowledge and insight related to treating clients who habitually use legal marijuana. Jodi Geis-Crowder will draw on 26 years of experience in clinical mental health to increase your knowledge of how the landscape of SUD and IDDT has drastically changed with the legal recreational and medicinal use of marijuana. Jodi will explore mandatory disclosure, monitoring, and ethical practice toward providing the best client care without alienating clients or jeopardizing the therapeutic alliance. Learn and understand how your biases may impact treatment, and protect your credentials both from an ethical and legal perspective.

In addition to the below Objectives, this webinar training includes the following highlights:

1. A general ethics review to inform attendees of the importance of keeping ethics at the forefront of their practice while meeting requirements for most state licensing boards.
2. An opportunity to create an ethical decision-making model.
3. An opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the course to a clinical case example.
4. Ability to identify at least two reasons why collaborating with a professional team, that includes clinical, legal, and medical consultation, is crucial to navigating the increased complexities that legal marijuana adds to SUD and IDDT.

 

 

**This is a 1.75-CE noninteractive, self-paced online video course delivered in home study format via an industry-standard online learning platform**

 

 

Agenda:

0:00 – 0:30 – Brief overview of objectives and ethics.

0:30 – 1:00 – Tools to assess substance use disorder, specifically marijuana, clinical approaches to treat SUD, definition of integrated dual diagnosed treatment (IDDT), and comparison of harm reduction versus abstinence models.

1:00 – 2:00 – Ethical decision-making models, managing the dance of working with clients that continue to use legal marijuana and keeping biases in check, understanding the need to treat these clients with a team of other professionals: medical and legal, and applying the knowledge to a case.

 

Objectives:

This training will provide participants clinical knowledge and tools to:

a), Identify two reasons why mandatory disclosure is one of the most important aspects of client care that sets the stage for safe SUD and IDDT treatment, especially when treating clients who use legal marijuana.

b). Identify two tools to assess clients in determining the best practice approach/clinically appropriate level of care (LOC) for clients who want to continue using marijuana for medicinal or other purposes.

c). Name two clinical approaches when treating clients who habitually use marijuana when it may be negatively impacting relationship, employment, education, and legal aspects of their lives.

d). Identify two aspects of an abstinence model of care and a harm reduction model of care when treating clients who habitually use marijuana for medicinal purposes.

e). Explore and identify two aspects of managing “the dance” between dealing with our reactions/biases and holding clinical ethics at the forefront of client care.

The target audience for this course includes licensed psychologists, social workers, counselors, MFT’s, and other licensed clinical mental health professionals.

Cognitive Therapy Techniques for Trauma, PTSD, & Co-Occurring Addiction

Cognitive Therapy Techniques for Trauma, PTSD, & Co-Occurring Addiction

Date course created: August 2024

The relationship between trauma and addiction is well established in the literature. This is no surprise, as clinicians know all too well that people with unresolved trauma and emotional wounds often turn to substances as a way to self-medicate; And, people with addictions may drive while impaired, gravitate towards toxic relationships, go to dangerous places to get their substance of choice, or engage in many other behaviors that increase their risk of being traumatized.

The good news is, there is hope! Evidence shows increasing incidence of recovery for people struggling in the areas of trauma and addiction. While neuroscience has taught us much about this phenomenon in recent years, evidence-based CBT treatments, which to this day appear to still be at least as effective as many “newer” approaches, seem to have almost gotten lost in the shuffle. Want to ground yourself in foundational clinical concepts for effectively treating this population? This breakthrough webinar led by internationally recognized CBT expert Dr. Jeff Riggenbach will enhance your treatment approach, advance your clinical skills, and arm you with proven tools and techniques that you can implement with your clients the very next day in your practice. Participate in this 3-hour online workshop and leave a more trauma informed clinician with a practical, evidence-based approach that will equip your clients struggling with trauma and addiction to reclaim their lives and be well on their road to recovery.

Treating OCD in the Neurodiverse Client: ERP Adaptations for Autism

Treating OCD in the Neurodiverse Client: ERP Adaptations for Autism

Date course created: August 2024

Did you know 37% of Autistics also have OCD? April Kilduff, MA, LCPC, LPCC, LMHC is a Therapist & Clinical Training Specialist who has worked with this intersection for the last 14 years. Through her experience as a therapist, clinical trainer, and Autistic person herself, she has found important distinctions to understand, as well as how to successfully adapt Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) so it works for neurodivergent minds. Most of us will work with Autistic clients at some point in our careers. In order to provide helpful intervention, it is important to learn how Autism presents in a client, as well as some important clinical considerations that arise when Autism and OCD occur together. This is an Autistic voice-led training, arguably the best way to learn about working with Autism, which is just as misunderstood, nuanced & idiosyncratic as OCD. Real case examples will be incorporated to help give perspective and enrich the overall learning experience so participants can more easily apply interventions. Our expert presenter for this training program is autistic herself & very passionate about this particular area of clinical treatment. She enjoys sharing her clinical knowledge and passion for helping neurodiverse clients at all life stages!

EMDR for Addictive Disorders: Urge Reduction & Trigger Desensitization

EMDR for Addictive Disorders: Urge Reduction & Trigger Desensitization

The DeTUR method uses an urge reduction model with the goal of desensitizing triggers/urges and getting to the root core trauma that has led to the dysfunctional behaviors that are associated with addictive tendencies.
