The purpose of this effort is to obtain contracted in-resident training and education services from a Substance Abuse Treatment Facility capable delivering specialized educational and consultative services in the area of curriculum design, development, instruction, and support to assist the USCG in providing a course in the fundamentals of substance abuse screening, assessment, diagnosis and treatment needed for care of USCG personnel. USCG implemented a tele-medicine substance abuse screening procedure necessitating the need to certify and recertify providers. This course should provide the required didactic and clinical curriculum specifically designed for teaching USCG Medical Officers substance abuse screening, assessment, pharmacotherapy, referral to care, motivational interviewing and motivational enhancement techniques. Additionally, the course should also address substance misuse prevention techniques for active duty military members who are “at risk” and who have been identified for screening as a result of an alcohol/drug incident, command referral, or self-referral. This should include both classroom instruction and clinic rotations, observation of individual or group sessions and residential facility tour.
Contractor shall develop and deliver a 4.5 day on-site, experiential and didactic course. The Contractor shall teach and provide medical instructions based on the current state-of-the-science for the screening, diagnosis, treatment planning, and psycho-educational services to Medical Officers who are required to diagnose and treat personnel with substance use disorders using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM V) or most current version & its guidelines. Separate courses will be made available for MO’s and SAPS. This course is entitled as Addiction Orientation for Health Care Providers (AOHCP).
