SUD Treatment for People with Cognitive Challenges – Part 2

Written by Marla Kauffman | April 26, 2024

Part 2 of the session presented on 1/24/24 – Due to the opioid epidemic, the number of people with cognitive impairment (CI) caused by overdose is on the rise. Yet many clinicians feel under-prepared to effectively treat people with SUD and CI. This webinar will focus on techniques and strategies to improve the SUD treatment of individuals with CI, particularly modifying Evidence-Based Practices.

Presenter

Julia Brower is a Special Education teacher-turned-SUD counselor. As the Clinical Director of a unique SUD clinic for people with Developmental Disabilities, she combined both backgrounds to develop effective treatment approaches and adapt evidence-based practices to meet each individual’s needs. Ms. Brower now shares her expertise with others to help improve treatment outcomes for people with cognitive challenges in traditional treatment settings.
