Description:
Working in the field of addiction treatment can feel daunting. What types of drugs are there? How do they affect a person? What is the difference between a depressant and a stimulant? What is tolerance and withdrawal? What does treatment look like? Does everyone need a Detoxification? Do we even call it Detoxification anymore? How can I tell if someone is addicted to a drug? How do we define addiction? This training seeks to increase the attendees overall knowledge of basic drug classes, the basic brain chemistry related to addiction, basic DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, and basic treatment modalities including ASAM levels of care.
