New TIP Helps Treatment Programs Address Clients' Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors
Suicide is a leading cause of death among people who abuse alcohol and drugs. For many reasons, people in treatment for substance use disorders are at especially high risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) 50: Addressing Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in Substance Abuse Treatment will assist substance abuse counselors working with adult clients who may be suicidal and will help clinical supervisors and administrators support the work of substance abuse counselors. TIP 50 is organized into three parts:
Part 1 (for counselors) provides the what, why, and how of working with clients in substance abuse treatment who have suicidal thoughts or have attempted suicide.
Part 2 (for administrators) clarifies why program administrators should be concerned about this clinical issue.
Part 3 (for clinical supervisors, interested counselors, and administrators) consists of three sections: an analysis of the available literature, an annotated bibliography, and a general bibliography. Part 3 is available only online at http://www.kap.samhsa.gov
