COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course examines the definition, identification, characteristics and treatment strategies of over-the-counter and illegal drugs and the enforcement of laws relating to them. Participants’ interactions will focus on the major effects – psychological, physical, social and legal - of common drugs, including how and why drugs work; and the historical origins of common drugs of abuse.
They will be able to compare and contrast drug addiction treatment strategies, analyse current patterns of abuse and distinctive features of a drug’s abuse potential, to ascertain the law enforcement response to drug use and to compare and contrast biological, psychological and sociological explanations for addiction. The issue of rehabilitation is a key component of this course in which participants will be encouraged to critique as well as devise their own approach in dealing with this problem.
