Impact of Common Substances and Treating Substance Use Disorders
Tracking # 20-1299007
Course overview
People have used substances since ancient times. Sometimes, substances were used as medicine to treat an ailment, for recreation, or to support spiritual practices. Some people who use substances develop patterns of compulsive use that are hard for them to control due to how they impact their brains. They can experience harmful, even fatal, consequences. As behavioral health providers, we have opportunities in our interactions with clients to address thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors around substance use. We can support clients in learning about substances and their impact, work to prevent or identify problematic use and substance use disorders, offer information about treatment, or provide treatment to clients. This course will review common types of substances used, how they affect the user, problematic use, substance use disorders, and evidence-based treatments.
