HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse: What are the Connections and Implications for Treatment Provision?
Facilitator: Robert Wright
Register
This webinar will cover the need for a shift in the thinking about HIV/AIDS from dying with dignity to living a quality life with the disease. Historically, training for substance abuse professionals has been heavily focused on the medical issues, transmission, and infection rates. Information that did not address the emotional reaction of the individual infected with the virus while in treatment for their co-existing substance abuse disorder, and how those feelings and reactions impact treatment outcomes. Frontline counselors and their clinical supervisors should have basic 101 knowledge of the above issues, but must also focus on areas such as relapse potential; medication compliance, depression; and suicide ideation; that affect quality of recovery.
TRAINER: Robert Charles Wright, LMSW, CASAC brings over 20 years of experience as a direct service practitioner serving populations with Substance Abuse, Mental Health, Child Welfare, and HIV/AIDS. Robert is an Adjunct Professor at Monroe College, Lehman College, and the College of New Rochelle.
