    Position description


    UCLA Extension is considered one of the top programs of its kind, offering to more than 35,000 students per year approximately 4,500 classes and non-degree certificate programs to meet the professional development, continuing education, and personal enrichment needs of the full spectrum of nontraditional students as well as companies and organizations throughout and beyond the Los Angeles region.

    Course / Program Description


    Substance use disorders (SUDs) affect many aspects of a person's life, including their mental health, physical health, social relationships, vocational endeavors and more.

    We also know that many clients in treatment for SUDs also have a co-occurring mental health disorder.

    Providers need to understand the interconnected nature of co-occurring disorders (CODs) in order to provide effective treatment and target interventions to the client's needs.

    The SUD treatment professional must be familiar with basic terminology and issues of the mental health field in addition to the latest research related to substance use disorders.

    This course introduces the epidemiology, prevalence, and science of CODs.

    Students learn how to conceptualize co-occurring mental health, substance use, and physical health disorders and how their interaction affects screening, assessment, and treatment.

    The course describes common mental health disorders that frequently co-occur with substance use, including depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity, post-traumatic stress and personality disorders.

    The course also describes treatment considerations, including multidimensional screening, assessment, treatment planning and an overview of evidence-based practices for CODs which include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, medication-assisted treatments and integrated behavioral health interventions.

    Job Description


    The Department of Health Sciences and Sciences at UCLA Extension offers a wide variety of certificate programs and courses including transfer-credit (XL), post-baccalaureate credit-bearing (400-level), continuing education (CEU) credit, and non-credit-bearing general interest courses.
