Substance misuse is a complex issue, affecting not only the individuals involved but their friends, families and the people they come into contact with.

Substance abuse can result in lowered educational outcomes, compromised health and danger to the public and affect not only the user but the people around them too.

This course offers you the chance to update your knowledge on drugs and addiction. In it you’ll learn about ‘legal highs’, why drug addiction occurs, and what the law says about possession and supply as well as the impact drugs can have, how people are treated for drug abuse and addiction and how you can best respond to someone who has problems in this area.
