An elective in the Certificate Program in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Studies

Addictions counselors and mental health professionals learn the basic pathophysiology of common pain complaints, medical treatments, and the role of cognitive behavioral interventions in helping patients cope with chronic pain in this workshop. Common chronic pain conditions include fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, neuropathic pain, and osteoarthritis. Many sufferers are at increased risk of mood disruption and some resort to the use of alcohol or illicit or prescription drugs to self-medicate.
