Credit(s): 3
There are three emphases in this course. One is on an understanding of family systems and family-based approaches to treatment, including issues related to culture and ethnicity, the impact of domestic violence, effects specific to very young children, and so forth. The second is on a thorough understanding of addictive disorders across the lifespan, including system and community issues, such as how to address cross-social service system treatment barriers, and community education and mobilization. The third is on specific interventions for youth who are abusing substances, for example, strategies for providing intensive treatment options in the community, developing prosocial behaviors, safe detox for adolescents, and the legal issues which affect minors (e.g., differences in age of consent for mental health and substance abuse treatment, involuntary treatment issues).
