Addiction to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco is an extremely common issue throughout the world. While there is treatment for these addictions, they are still poorly understood and there are many myths and misconceptions about the problem.
This course discusses addiction to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. It discusses the impact of these addictions on the body and mind, and looks at the various treatment modalities used to manage these conditions. The ways in which treatment can be effective in treating these types of addictions are also discussed in this course.
There are also many resources for people who are addicted to the above substances. This is also discussed in the course.
