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.

Darren Hourihane graduated from DBS with a Diploma in Management Studies.

"For me the best thing about studying at DBS was the commitment from each of the lecturers to the students. They made each one of us students so welcome to ask, and ask, and ask again, any question until they were sure we understood the point. I would highly recommend DBS to anyone and I will certainly be back!"
