Improving the quality of counseling and clinical supervision in opioid treatment programs is crucial to helping individuals recover and manage their addiction. Technology can play a big role in this by providing tools that support counselors and supervisors in their work. For example, digital platforms can make it easier to track progress, offer virtual counseling sessions, and provide real-time feedback for better decision-making. Online resources can also help counselors stay up-to-date with the latest treatment methods and offer support for patients, making treatment more accessible and personalized. Ultimately, technology can enhance the effectiveness of opioid treatment programs by making services more efficient and improving the overall experience for both counselors and patients.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Improving the Quality of Counseling and Clinical Supervision in Opioid Treatment Programs created by Michelle Peavy, PhD et al in 2024.
