HMSV 452: Substance Abuse Treatment & Research
In this substance abuse treatment course, I’ve embarked on a journey to explore the intricacies of substance abuse services and research, particularly in the context of the populations served by human service professionals. Throughout the semester, my goal has been to expand upon my existing knowledge in this field and develop the skills necessary to utilize current research effectively in delivering substance abuse treatment.
Through engaging lectures and discussions, I’ve deepened my understanding of various treatment approaches and methodologies. This course has not only broadened my awareness of the diverse needs of individuals struggling with substance abuse but has also equipped me with the competencies required for effective treatment planning.
The assignments throughout the semester, such as the Comprehensive Case Study Project, Case Study Vignette, Research Paper, and Treatment Plan Paper, have provided invaluable opportunities for practical application of my learning. These assignments have challenged me to integrate theoretical knowledge with real-world scenarios, honing my ability to develop comprehensive and tailored treatment plans.
