This 10-hour training provides practical strategies based on theories of human development for working with clients with a use disorder.  Understanding these theories will help clinicians recognize stages of recovery and better select appropriate interventions for the proper stage of change. 

Some of the topics related to human development and use disorders covered in this course include the following:

• developmental deficits and developmental arrest in recovering clients, 
• delayed reactions to sexual abuse and other childhood trauma, 
• Stages of recovery, 
• developmental issues in the professional’s life, 
• multi-problem families with a multigenerational history of use disorder. 

Applying these developmental strategies to work with persons with use disorders will significantly improve communication, rapport, and the client-counselor relationship, ultimately leading to more positive long-term recovery outcomes.
