Our Associates have several decades of experience in addictions training. During those years, each one of us has developed particular expertise in certain training topics. These are the topics we offer to you here. As our literature review continues, we will be adding to this topics list. We also have a commitment to presenting only research-based and useful information.

Because of the varied backgrounds of our group, we are able to offer a variety of trainings.

• Dual Diagnosis -- the latest information on working with clients who have both addictions and mental health disorders.
• Research Methods -- the basics of research design, so you can understand how to read and apply research, as well as possibly start some research work of your own..
• Outcomes Studies -- specific details on how to do them, to find out what you are producing in treatment results.
• Prostitution and Trauma -- the traumatizing experience of prostitution, and how working through this trauma improves recovery.
• Smoking Cessation -- the latest in recommended treatment techniques.
• Craving -- the neurology of this powerful force, that drives us in so many of our negative and positive behaviors.
• Resistance -- dealing more effectively with our clients' natural avoidance tactics in counseling (what we usually call "denial").
• Addicted Women -- the special treatment needs of women in recovery, as reported in current research.
• Treatment Plans -- how to write these essential documents in a way that is clear to our clients, and acceptable for licensing and managed care. Documentation -- the legally proper way to enter data into the client record.
• Neuropharmacology -- how drugs affect the nervous system and make humans experience certain feeling states.
