The Diploma in Addiction Studies offered at Dublin Business School addresses head-on the very serious challenge addiction throws at Irish society today. The diploma course responds to the changing landscape of addiction treatment by providing a sound theoretical knowledge as well as discussing practical and social issues.
This diploma course provides indicators for further study and training in the field. In addition to this, it provides students with an understanding of the major theories of addiction and the models of treatment of addiction. These range from the pharmacological maintenance approach to the therapeutic community/abstinence approach. It looks at the theories of the cause of addiction as well as how theories inform treatment practice and social policies.
The course is offered on a part-time, once a week basis. Applications for the September intake are now open. Contact us today on (01) 417 7500 or email admissions@dbs.ie.
