Description:

The Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) includes substance use disorders along with a myriad of other psychiatric conditions that have similar symptomology. Screening for substance use can help to discern between symptoms that may seem to result from a mental health condition but may actually be substance use related. By incorporating screening, brief interventions and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in practice, clinicians can identify and intervene with individuals who are experiencing psychosocial or health conditions related to their substance use.

This interactive learning event will review intersections of psychoactive substances and mental illness, impact on mental illness diagnosis and treatment, and benefits of how SBIRT can augment successful outcomes for individuals with co-occurring disorders.
