In the UK, substance abuse is a pressing concern, with over 270,000 adults receiving treatment for drug or alcohol misuse in 2019-2020 (NHS Digital).

This comprehensive course covers topics such as the nature of addiction, the impact of drugs and alcohol, prevention strategies, workplace policies, treatment, and legal aspects.
