Substance Abuse Counseling Introductory Course (Udemy.com)

The instructor references a manual and referring to the manual for additional information on defense mechanisms in addictive thinking...it would be helpful to have access to that information or at least the few pages she is referencing. I don't see any "resources" listed under those sections.

The course was so fruitful and productive, it helped me to understand and to have another perspective towards drug addicts as well as to be patient and empathic when dealing with them. The course was really match for me and the scope of my profession.

It gave good basic information, but it did not help me learn how to actually deal with a person who is an addict.

Alcohol and substance abuse has been apart of my family history for years. One uncle feel asleep intoxicated while smoking and died in a house fire. I have friends who struggle daily, in fact, they are functional alcoholics. One of my brothers has been sober for five years now. I have a lot of patience, empathy, and compassion for those who have addictions.

i am finding the the course very interesting,i think most people coould realte to the use of cognitive disorders,even without having an addiction,i myself can realate to some of these i have been in an abusive reationship,and reconise some of these defence mechanisms

I am enjoying this course and find the information provided very helpful. The course is breaking down the different aspects of what a career in Addictions Counselling may look like very well. The instructor seems very calm and approachable as well which is really nice.

I am a recovering addict with over 16 years of sobriety. This course was excellent thank you. I have felt for the last few years is that my calling lies with helping addicts. I do sponsor lots of people in AA and NA, but I want to ultimately make a career out of counselling so this was a great foundation

This really helped me understand the science behind addiction. In recovery you deal with all kinds of obstacles and this course helped me realize where some of my struggles were in my early days of recovery. Very well presented. Thank you.

This course has been very informative and easy to understand, I've enjoyed this it's so needed in my field personally and professional. Having family members struggling on drugs and acholol . I'm being a life-coach and minister it's a good fit for those I come in contact with. THANKS!

Amazing! Love the fact that the course was interactive! Really felt like I learned from the course by stopping to answer and review topics before and after a lecture, this feature made me feel like I was mastering the material thought during the course.
