Addiction Counselling

Another bite sized learning experience from ACS.

Addictions are an affliction which can affect anyone, even the most well-intentioned and upstanding members of the community.

Some addictions are easily recognised such as drug and alcohol dependence. Others may be less conspicuous like obsessive shopping or computer gaming. But all addictions ultimately take a toll on the person with the problem and those around them.

Addictions counselling is a specialised area of counselling which seeks to help those with a range of addictions to regain control of their lives.

This short course provides students with insight into the behavioural and physiological nature of addictions, as well as tolerance and withdrawal from substances. It will appeal to those working in the caring professions and those with an interest in this field whether personal or professional.  Different counselling strategies and techniques are discussed and upon completion it is anticipated that students will have a well-rounded understanding of how to help people with addictions.

Finish this course in a weekend or take a year- it’s up to you.
