Drugs and alcohol addictions have been steadily on the rise, causing significant damage to sufferers, their families, and society in general. This course brings the issues to light and offers solutions for dealing with this crisis with particular emphasis on the situation in the United Kingdom. The first lesson in this course defines what addiction is, the types of addictions that occur and their symptoms.

Then, we explore the types of drugs commonly encountered in the UK and their legal classifications. You will study the pros and cons of alcohol, its history, and health risks that include numerous diseases such as liver cirrhosis, hypertension, and cancer. Awareness can make a big difference in preventing drug and alcohol abuse and the topics discuss prevention strategies and various awareness campaigns.

Further on, the impact that drug and alcohol dependency can have on an individual's workplace and personal performance is discussed. You will learn how to create policies in the organisation to prevent drug and alcohol misuse. Finally, we will investigate treatment methods that help addicts recover, appropriate rehabilitation alternatives, as well as aftercare that must follow treatment. Sign up today and start learning.
