Today's Webinar: Neurocounseling: Bridging the Recovery Gap
  |
Wed, November 8, 2017 @ 3:00 - 4:00 pm ET
(2 CT/1 MT/12 PT)
Presented by Christine Chasek, Ph.D., LIMHP, LADC, MAC, LPC, this webinar will cover the basics of neurocounseling and highlight two interventions that addiction counselors can use in their practice. Neurocounseling is a relatively new approach in addiction treatment that has been shown to be effective for a variety of addiction-related issues including recovery management and relapse prevention. Addiction counselors can help clients bridge the gap between brain and behavior by becoming “brain-wise” and using neurocounseling interventions that target recovery and relapse prevention.

CMS Announces New State Waiver Flexibilities
|
On November 1st, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced additional flexibilities to help states improve access to and quality of substance use disorder treatment through Medicaid 1115 demonstrations.
With this new policy, CMS’s main goal is to improve access to treatment by requiring less upfront administrative process barriers for approvals of state initiatives. This is a significant step to help states address the immediate treatment needs of individuals and families as well as providers that are on ground zero of the opioid crisis.
