Transferring Addictions & Harm Reduction
The observed phenomena of individuals pursuing abstinence from a primary addictive substance or behavior sequentially replacing that addictive behavior with another is well-established. Understanding this “replacement addiction” equips treatment providers to more effectively intervene and support optimal recovery outcomes with those demonstrating this pattern. Harm reduction refers to strategies or interventions that are intentionally purposeful for treatment with individuals who are customers for such approaches, when they may be too ambivalent to pursue abstinence-based recovery. This module addresses both of these important topics in significant depth.
Please note that this course is comprised of the content from Module 10 of the newly revised Addictions Certificate Program, Track 1.Instructor

Understanding Behavioral Addictions
For the majority of time that addiction treatment has been available in the United States, the focus has been on the destructive misuse of alcohol and/or other chemical substances. However, “behavioral addictions” such as gambling, compulsive sexual behavior, and an increasing variety of internet-related pursuits have gained increasing amounts of attention, as unchecked involvement has led to negative outcomes that have impaired quality-of-life and level-of-functioning for many. This module defines a useful working definition of behavioral or process addiction, and addresses various treatment approaches that have been shown to be effective.
Please note that this course is comprised of the content from Module 9 of the newly revised Addictions Certificate Program, Track 1.Instructor
