Description
Feeling underprepared, overwhelmed by complex cases, or unsure how to support people with substance or behavioural addictions? This Addiction Recovery Training from High Skills Training offers strong guidance on assessment, reducing relapse risk, treatment, responding to complex needs, recovery planning, and professional boundaries, so learners can work with more confidence and less stress.
The addiction recovery online course is designed for UK frontline recovery workers, support workers, social workers, allied professionals, counsellors, healthcare professionals, and anyone involved in addiction care. You will gain knowledge and confidence to support people affected by addiction in a safe, respectful, and practical way.
You will begin with the foundations of addiction and recovery science, including the nature and types of addiction, the effects on the brain, and the influences of genetic, social, psychological, and spiritual factors.
In the assessment and client understanding section, you will study ethical principles of assessment, diagnostic tools like DSM-5 and ICD-11, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed evaluations. Learners will understand client triggers, behavioural patterns, and co-morbid mental health conditions to create person-centred treatment plans.
Plus, this online course also covers the treatment and recovery process from addiction. Community support, coaching, peer networks, and inter-agency collaboration are included to help clients reintegrate into society and maintain sobriety. You will also look at resilience, aftercare, reflective practice, supervision, CPD, digital tools, and ethical leadership, helping you support recovery over the long term.
To verify whether you have a strong grasp on the knowledge of addiction recovery, you will get a quiz which you can retake. Also, you will get additional resources and a FREE CPD certificate upon completion of this Addiction Recovery Training. With 24/7 support and a 14-day money-back guarantee, this online training is a risk-free investment. You can complete the course at your own pace, on any device.
