Completed:Advance Certificate Course in Management of Addictive Disorder 5.0

2023: Upcoming

Addiction is a public health problem. Adolescents are experimenting with drugs much earlier, placing them at a higher risk for addiction and related harm. Substance use has a substantial impact on the user’s physical and mental health and has devastating consequences for the family and society at large. The growing problem of addictions (alcohol, drugs, and behavioral health issues like gambling and internet addiction), on the one hand, and the lack of trained service providers, on the other hand, led to a vast “treatment gap”. There is an urgent need to bridge this treatment gap in this specialized area of public health importance.
