COURSE DESCRIPTION
- This Substance Use Disorders course has been expanded from 6 to 8 modules, and from 13 to 17 CE hours. Module 7 covers the special populations of children & adolescents, LGBTQ+, and criminal justice clients. Module 8 is on process addictions (gambling addiction, eating disorders, shopping addiction, cyber addiction, sex addiction, and internet/video game addiction), created by the author/teacher of our Neurobiology of Addictions course, Dr. Jaime Picanol.
