Speaker: Melanie Short, LCSW
Historically, in most treatment recovery programs, substance use disorders are treated separately from trauma. In this presentation, I will discuss the reasons it is important to integrate treatment for trauma and substance use disorders.
Objectives:
- Understand the brain when it has trauma experiences
- Learn about how trauma impacts substance use disorders in treatment
- Understand triggers in a different way
- Be more equipped to identify behaviors associated with trauma correctly
