Critical elements in screening, assessment, treatment/discharge and relapse prevention planning, crisis intervention and case management are reviewed and students practice basic skills needed to work with families as individuals and in family groups. Students are introduced to prevalent evidence–based approaches and emphasis is placed on cultural factors and on special issues including that related to military families, co-occurring disorders, domestic violence and others. Practice in delivering addiction materials as psycho-educational interventions to families is also addressed.
