Current Scientific Evidence About Mutual Help Groups
3/29/2023
3pm ET
This presentation summarizes the current evidence about the effectiveness of mutual help groups and the mechanisms of action in these groups, including AA, SMART, LifeRing, and WFS. AA is comparably effective to well-implemented CBT. The evidence so far suggests that the other groups are comparably effective to AA. Further studies are in progress. Similar to evidence about common factors in psychotherapy, mutual help groups appear to have common factors. Any freely chosen mutual help group appears likely to be helpful. This presentation also overviews the range of mutual help groups currently available, their surface differences, and interventions for clients who report having no interest in attending any group.

Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders & SUD, Part 6: Mood, Anxiety Disorder
3/31/2023
12:00-1:30pm ET (11CT/10MT/9PT)
Often, mood and anxiety disorders are comorbid in individuals who have substance use disorders (SUDs). However, individuals may experience both anxiety and manic/depressive symptoms when using certain substances, and may experience similar symptoms during withdrawal. The DSM-5 breaks anxiety into three different types and is described as one of the most prevalent mental health issues in those with SUDs. Mood disorders may also lead to self-medicating with illicit substances. This webinar will discuss the etiology of anxiety and mood disorders and how each may contribute to the development of co-occurring disorders. The webinar will also discuss the neurotransmitters affected by these disorders, as well as effective treatment approaches for these co-occurring disorders.
