In this course we will examine how the treatment of substance use disorders has been influenced by several diverse models of treatment and how that evolution has shaped the Transtheoretical Model (TTM). We will explore the Stages of Change model by focusing on the six stages of precontemplation, contemplation, preparation/determination, action, maintenance and recurrence/relapse. Discussions will include how identifying a client’s stage of change impacts the treatment provided by the clinician. Special consideration will be given to the process of assessing a client’s stage of change and to identifying appropriate stage specific catalysts that meet clients where they are in their current process of change.
