About the Course

This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders. By delving into a model case performed by actors, seven Yale instructors from various fields provide techniques to screen your patients for substance use disorder risk, diagnose patients to gauge the severity of their use, directly manage treatment plans, refer out to treatment services, and navigate the various conditions that may limit your patient’s access to treatment. You will ultimately be prepared to provide compassionate and evidence-based care to a large population of patients living with addiction— a chronic, often relapsing-remitting disease, but a treatable one. This course is supported in part by SAMHSA of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of financial assistance awards from grant #1H79FG000023 totaling $249,900 and grant #3H79TI081968-02S1 from SAMHSA totaling $1,354,651 with 100 percent funded by SAMHSA/HHS.

Excelente, muy buen ritmo de voz y supieron transmitir sus conocimientos. Me fue muy dificil contestar los examenes pues eran todos en ingles. Fue un gran esfuerzo para mi, y les agradezco la oportunidad de abrirnos las puertas para aprender de sus excelentes docentes por este medio. Felicidades, ojala´ sigan abriendo sus purtas al aprendizaje de calidad por este medio.

First class course on how to talk to, get help for, and support a human being with an Unhelpful Addictive Behaviour. While I do not subscribe to the disease model, and see Unhelpful Addictive Behaviour as a common human condition, with levels of chronicity including deadly, this course empowered me to be more effective with a human being I might encounter. Love it.

Should be required for anyone in or thinking about entering the substance abuse field. The lectures, readings, and discussions were engaging and informative. Future clinicians, individuals in recovery, family members impacted by substance abuse, or anyone interested in the science and treatment of substance use disorder would find this course worth their time.

I thoroughly enjoyed the way the material and information is presented. The teachers who guide you through the course are great. I also enjoyed that you could listen to the videos or read what would be said because I absorb information better through reading than listening. Super helpful course for substance abuse disorders. I would highly recommend.

It was a course that completely changed and improved my views on the approach to addictions. The process of looking at it as a purely chronic disease and revealing its similarities with diabetes was eye-opening. A very positive learning environment, especially the panels and lecturers' discussions were instructive. Thank you to all my teachers.

Great course! Although some lectures and activities are more applicable in US, the concept may also be used in my country. The technique of giving a theoretical perspective, then practical application, and panelists discussion helped to better understand the topic and put the lessons into clearer perspective.

Loved the interdisciplinary approach and recognition of how social determinants of health strongly influence people with SUD and how they might or might not approach recovery. Very thorough course for only being 6 weeks of content. Was very helpful for my work as a nurse in a supervised consumption site.

I enjoyed the point of views of multiple presenters and seeing treatment offered through the lense of their training and expertise. It made my educational experience much more comprehensive. However what was most valuable to me was the empathy that came across the discussions and options. Thank you.

For me, the course was magnificent. My only problem was the language barrier, which in some way influenced something, even though it also helped me in that area and learning to use the skills of the course, since it is the first time I have taken a course for this wow, but i love it
