Traumatic Brain Injury and Substance Use Disorders: Making the Connections
Download the full guide and the accompanying workbook.
The Mid-America Addiction Technology Transfer Center, the Mountain Plains Addiction Technology Transfer Center, and the National Association of State Head Injury Administrators (NASHIA) provide this free toolkit to you entitled Traumatic Brain Injury and Substance Use Disorders: Making the Connections. We hope you will take the opportunity to read this document and share it throughout your networks.
This toolkit merges the content on traumatic brain injury (TBI) and substance use disorders (SUD) to expand the capacity to address both issues in treatment. It is a resource for behavioral health treatment providers, healthcare providers, educators, and health and human service administrators to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of SUD on persons who have survived a TBI. The merging of the two fields expands the capacity of providers to address both concerns, with a specific recommendation for treatment protocols and screening tools.
Along with the guide, be sure to download the accompanying client workbook.
