COUN 547 - Substance Abuse and Dependence
3 Credits
Designed to prepare students in mental health counseling with professional knowledge of addiction and treatment of substance-related and addictive disorders as classified by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; APA, 2013). This course offers an overview of the addictive process while providing theory-based approaches to addiction counseling. Application of these theories will be a significant part of this course, particularly with how they apply to work with individuals, couples, families and groups. Will also address co-occurring disorders, such as process addictions and mental illnesses. Students will develop conceptual knowledge, practical skills and self-awareness of the etiology of addiction, assessment strategies, wellness strategies for preventing clinician burn-out and diagnosis and treatment planning. This will be accomplished through assigned readings, seminar discussions, videotapes, lectures, case presentation and student assignments.
