This workshop is designed to give participants an overview of the substance abuse research and treatment field including information specific to psychoactive substances, modes of treatment and controversies in the field.  Guidelines will be given for diagnosing dependence, abuse, and treating substance abusers from different theoretical perspectives (e.g., disease model, self-medication model or dual diagnosis model). Substance Use Disorders are mandatory for pre-licensed Alumni.
