A 6-hour training with Joseph Zannella, MA, LADC
May 10, 2024
8:30am-4:00pm
PRESENTATION: This training is designed for clinicians at any skill level to explore and understand the complications of recovery with an accompanying mood disorder. Recovery of any nature is often accompanied with anxiety, depression and instability. While these can be transitory or chronic, any form of mood disorder can complicate an individual’s recovery and possibly derail it. While we may be familiar with the structure of recovery and have knowledge of mood issues we will focus on the specific obstacles this combination can generate. We will review the most commonly observed mood disorders and how different substances of abuse and the accompanying recovery and interact. Medication support and various kinds of talk therapy will be discussed as well as newer treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe the most common mood disorders associated with recovery;
- Explain what treatments are available and their reported efficacy;
- Describe at least 2 issues they have the most concerns with in their own areas of work; and
- Explain how to educate and support their clients recovery based on how these issues affect them.
