ANATOMY OF ADDICTIONS

Undergraduate

This course provides an in-depth introduction to addictions and their impact on families, communities and societies. Students are given the opportunity to study various forms of addictions and the manner in which professionals intervene to help addicts as well as those who are impacted by them in a secondary way. An important part of the course focuses on the unintended additional social consequences and problems that emerge when communities are distracted from their usual norms and routines by substance abuse.
