Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment - Part 2
Course Overview
This course is chapters 4-8 of the TIP titled " Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment " produced by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), updated in 2019.
