The course examines major models of conceptualizing and integrating prevention, intervention, rehabilitation, and maintenance/relapse prevention. Students will learn strategies for accessing supportive measures and case management processes for developing wrap-around action plans for service delivery to individuals and groups with addiction- and chemical-dependence-related issues."
