PS 209 Realities of Addiction and Recovery (Self-Paced)
In a society plagued with addiction to alcohol and other drugs, gambling, pornography, and other behavioral compulsions, there is disagreement on how to help people. Whether a minister, counselor, social worker, psychologist, or nurse, if your calling is to help others, research shows that about two-thirds of people who seek help do so because of their own addiction or that of someone they live with or care about. The reasons that people bring to helping professionals are usually not the addiction, but its symptoms…depression, anxiety, marital or other family problems, etc. In this course, learners learn what works and what doesn’t work in helping addicted people recover.
