Group Process and Practice with Chemically Dependent Populations

X144 (1 semester unit in Public Health)

A requirement in the Certificate Program in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Studies

Group interventions continue to be a major strategy to treat addictions. They are increasingly considered a cost-effective intervention, based on a growing body of knowledge about best practices. Gain an understanding of group process and dynamics in treating chemically dependent adults. You cover the theory behind group work, types of groups—how to select patients, how to be a group leader, and methods appropriate to two types of groups—the transitional (open) group and the closed group. Structured time is given to practice in small groups.
