Ø This course is to introduce behavioral health practitioners to effective assessment, treatment planning, and treatment for individuals with cannabis and/or opioid use disorders. Given that these drugs are legal in many states and have medical uses, they can easily be abused. Understanding the use and misuse of cannabis and opioids as our new legal drugs is critical given the complexity of substance use disorders which often co-occur with mental health and physical disorders.
