Description

Treating addiction can be a confusing, sometimes frustrating matter for anyone in the field, and often we are not quite sure where to start. This course is designed to help you understand addiction and some of the behavior associated with criminal justice clients. The goal is to help clients take an honest look at the choices they have made as a result of their addiction to alcohol or other drugs. Upon completion of this course you will gain an understanding of how to move clients toward the goals of treatment, healthy thinking and sobriety.
This course contains information to help the person who lives inside the addict or offender, his private person, who wakes up at three in the morning and wonders where his life is going. As an addiction professional, it is your job to manage and challenge the client in hopes of motivating them towards change.
