Institution:

College of the Florida Keys

Subject:

HUS - Human Services

Description:

This course provides an overview of symptomatology and treatment of chemical dependency and a concurrent psychiatric diagnosis. Psychiatric disorders covered include major anxiety disorder, depression, post-traumatic mood disorders and suicide, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder and psychotic disorders. Assessment of these disorders is emphasized in order that the addictions counselor may assess and appropriately refer. It is emphasized that this course is an overview in symptomatology rather than treatment because addictions counselors are not qualified to diagnose or treat concurrent psychiatric disorders. Important issues for addictions counselors such as taking psychotropic drugs in recovery are explored.
