A brief description about this Activity.
Pain Management is a key battleground the 21st Century Opioid Epidemic A history of mental illness and/or substance abuse is an established risk factor for opioid addiction; the clients we see in our practices every day are already susceptible to the trap of opioid dependency. With reports of opioid related addictions and deaths on the rise, doctors and their patients are actively searching for alternative ways to manage pain. Due to our training in the assessment and treatment of mental illnesses and addictions, behavioral health professionals are uniquely poised to battle opioid addiction by helping clients to learn to manage their chronic pain without pills. However, many of us feel that we don’t have enough training or current information to face the very real challenges of treating clients who are experiencing chronic pain. With over 30 years of practical experience in the treatment of pain, Dr. Robert Umlauf can help you prepare for effective practice with clients who are at risk of or already in the trap of opioid addiction. He will lead you into a deeper expansion of skills you may already possess to assess neurophysiological, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral factors involved in the development of chronic pain syndrome. You will learn to use specific self-regulation and behavioral activation skills that can help any client manage pain better. And you will leave with the ability to immediately apply these skills in your practice. Dr. Umlauf will also present a wealth of information about new medical research, alternative medicines, and the effects of diet and nutrition along with evidence to support treatments that are effective. Dr. Umlauf employs highly interactive, hands-on experiences in teaching multidisciplinary approaches to pain management.
