Detoxification: Identification of Need and Therapeutic Interventions (6 hours)

Detoxification: Identification of Need and Therapeutic Interventions (6 hours)

$80.00

In this 6 hour course by Kevin Scheel we have revised and expanded our basic detoxification course into a 2-part course that examines detoxification needs of various addictive drugs and current therapeutic interventions that are useful in preventing clients from suffering needlessly in early stages of recovery programming:

  • Detoxification: Identification of Need and Therapeutic Interventions
  • Detoxification: Special Needs and Considerations

Every helping professional who works with drug and alcohol addicted clients should have a basic understanding of the drugs of abuse and the problems associated with their potential withdrawal issues. Some will want and need more information into the special medical and psychological needs that occur during detoxification as well as considerations that exist for special populations.
