The Addiction Free Pain Management® (APM™) Certification School training is held over a three day time period and is designed to teach the skills needed to successfully work with people with chronic pain and potential or actual addictive disorders. Addictive disorders often lead to one set of biopsychosocial problems. When combined with pain disorders, they lead to another set of problems called the Addiction-Pain Syndrome™. This syndrome produces a synergistic outcome where one plus one no longer equals 2, but 3 or more.

The Addiction Free Pain Management Training is a strategic and systematic clinical process that successfully addresses this Syndrome. You will be trained to implement the three core components of APM™: (a) Core Clinical Components; (b) Medication Management Planning; and (c) Nonpharmacological Interventions. The above tasks will be accomplished using a combination of lectures, discussions, demonstrations, diads and small group experiential exercises. After this training, you will be eligible to complete the optional Competency Certification credential by submitting an APM™ Certification Portfolio and a non-refundable portfolio review and credentialling fee of $95.

- Identify the 12 denial patterns that sabotage effective pain management and be able to help patients manage their personal denial patterns that lead them to self-defeating behaviors.
- Determine whether a patient's pain condition is physiological psychological/emotional or a combination of both and to develop and appropriate treatment plan accordingly.
- Identify and understand 5 other common coexisting disorders that people living with chronic pain and addictive disorders experience and the importance of concurrent treatment to help the whole person.
- Help patients identify, personalize, analyze, and manage the high-risk situations that set them up for ineffective pain management or chemical dependency relapse.
- Develop a relapse prevention plan for APM® clients that include high risk situation identification and management, development of a relapse prevention network, and creation of an appropriate recovery plan.
