COURSE DESCRIPTION
Developed and overseen by internationally recognized expert and coauthor of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Substance Use Disorders (BPD-SUD; Linehan & Dimeff, 1997), DBT for Substance Use Disorders (SUD) is an expansive treatment for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Substance Use Disorders. This training is a practical workshop that will provide participants with a comprehensive working knowledge of the adaptations to be made when working with individuals with BPD-SUD. As individuals with BPD-SUD experience different problems from individuals with BPD, this workshop will address these specific problems and the specific adaptations to standard DBT. Dr. Dimeff will also describe how the treatment evolved over time as Linehan became more and more experienced in working with this population. Dr. Dimeff will provide rich clinical examples to bring the content to life.
On the final day of training, Dr. K. Michelle Peavy will provide information on best practices for managing Opioid Use Disorders (OUD). We will review the current conditions of the crisis. Then, because the nature of Opioid Use Disorders requires treatment trajectories that are different than other Substance Use Disorders, we will discuss medication used to treat OUD, consider the treatment landscape, and examine behavioral supports for this group.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the training, participants will be able to:
- Describe major findings from research on DBT for clients with BPD and Substance Use Disorders.
- Define Dialectical Abstinence in DBT with clients who have BPD and SUD.
- List three specific treatment targets for clients with SUD and BPD.
- Describe three skills specifically designed for SUD clients.
- List three attachment strategies.
- Describe how lying is targeted, addressed, and treated when treating BPD SUD clients.
- Identify medications used to treat Opioid Use Disorder.
- Describe the current treatment landscape and behavioral supports for people who use opioids.
