Course details
The relationship between Addiction and Mental Health is complex. Without a clear understanding of how substance use influences neurological and emotional well-being, individuals struggle to recognize warning signs, apply harm-minimization strategies, and assess effective treatment options. Lack of knowledge in these areas can lead to mismanaged interventions, worsening conditions rather than improving them.Now, imagine confidently understanding the neurophysiology behind addiction, identifying trauma-related impacts, and analysing treatment models with clarity. Equipped with this expertise, professionals, caregivers, and individuals can take an informed approach to support, guiding better decision-making and intervention strategies. Understanding Addiction and Mental Health builds pathways toward recovery, stability, and proactive management.
This Dual Diagnosis Addiction and Mental Health course provides a structured theoretical foundation, offering insight into the interconnectedness of substance use and mental health conditions. Covering key concepts such as harm minimization, brain function, and early intervention models, this program enhances knowledge for those seeking a deeper understanding of dual diagnosis challenges.
