SUMMARY:Medications and Recovery: Let’s Talk About It*
DESCRIPTION:Register for this event \n*Repeated session. \nDescription: \nSubstance use disorder has been described as a chronic\, relapsing medical condition characterized by recurring periods of relapse and remission. Relapse risk remains high because long-term high-risk substance use causes lasting neurobiological brain changes that persist beyond detoxification. This session will provide an overview of medications used to treat alcohol and opioid use disorders. Participants will explore how these medications work\, why they are considered evidence-based treatment options\, and how they can support recovery by reducing cravings\, withdrawal symptoms\, relapse risk\, and overdose risk. The session will also address common myths and concerns about medication use and the role of medication alongside education and counseling. \nGoals: \nParticipants will learn about substance use disorders as a chronic health condition\, including the neurological changes that can contribute to relapse risk beyond detoxification\, learn about commonly used medications for the treatment of alcohol and opioid use disorders\, describe how medications support recovery\, and address common myths about medication use and understand the role of medication alongside psychosocial treatments. \nLearning Objectives: \nAt the conclusion of the session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDefine substance use disorder.\nExplain how medications assist in recovery from opioid and alcohol use disorders.\nDescribe common FDA-approved medications for opioid and alcohol use disorder and their mechanisms.\nIdentify how medications for opioid and alcohol use disorders integrate with behavioral interventions.\n\nDates and Times (EASTERN TIME): \nSeptember 18\, 2026: 9:00 – 10:30 AM Eastern Time \nTime Zone Converter (Zoom also gives you the option to add it to your local calendar):\nhttps://time.is/compare \nDetails: \nAll sessions are live-hosted\, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended. \nPlease note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system’s requirements.

DESCRIPTION:Register for this event \n*Repeated session. \nDescription: \nThis second installment will focus on recognizing and responding to client language for and against change in the context of Prime For Life. \nPrime For Life instructors know the curriculum matters – but how we deliver it matters just as much.

SUMMARY:Prime Solutions Level I Training

It provides flexibility for counselors to meet the varied needs of clients\, along with the standardization state and local agencies require to ensure quality. Consistent with Motivational Interviewing\, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change\, all 20 session topics are designed for easy integration with Twelve-Step involvement and enriched with carefully developed media. \nTraining participants must be able to attend all 3 sessions and complete independent work between live meetings (via Zoom). Each session is 2 hours in length. \nUS Date and Time: \n\nNovember 5\, 2026: 1:00-3:00PM ET\nNovember 12\, 2026: 1:00-3:00 PM ET\nNovember 19\, 2026: 1:00-3:00 PM ET\n\n\nThe training fee is $600*. \n*Note: For approved GA DBHDD providers the training fee is reduced to $400.00 (must enter provider number on the registration form.) For those providing services to active members of the military\, the fee is $400.00. \nHours: \n\nPRI has been accredited as an Authorized Provider by The Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC). Approximately 13 hours will be awarded and the participant will receive their training certificate after all online requirements have been completed. It is the participant’s responsibility to establish whether hours earned in PRI events fulfill credentialing requirements of affiliated agencies. We begin promptly at the time indicated. Due to the sequential nature of the training process\, please understand we cannot admit late participants. Total contact hours awarded will be stated on the certificate received by participants after the event. \nPlease note: attending the same learning event more than once\, even as a “refresher\,” does not meet the credentialing criteria Prevention Research Institute must follow to award hours. This does not mean that you cannot attend any NIT\, PS\, or CE session more than once; it simply means that doing so will serve as a personal learning opportunity only (no hours will be awarded the second time).
