    Description
    This is a survey course that examines, interprets and evaluates the significant terms and definitions used in the study of drugs, addiction and alcoholism as a family affair. It looks at the causes and consequences of alcohol/drug use and abuse (i.e. psychological, sociological, physiological, economic, and political), as well as the myths, images and stereotypes of substance abuse and substance users. It examines the modalities utilized in education, prevention, intervention, treatment, recovery, and relapse. This is the basic prerequisite for the Alcohol/Drug Studies Certificate.
