Training: addiction

Where does the craving to reuse come from? As a counsellor, what can you do to reduce this craving so that you contribute to improving someone’s quality of life? In this training, you will learn all about substance dependence and how you can have a positive impact on your client in an empathetic way. You will learn to understand drug use from your client’s experience and perspective.  

In this training we explore facts and misconceptions around addiction. Everyone has certain beliefs about drug use, but what’s true? What behaviours do we associate with addiction? We also try to expand your knowledge about substance dependence and craving. We delve deeper into the process of addiction, dual diagnosis and present different common perspectives. As a result, you will gradually come to understand that views on addiction are subjective, and that ultimately the client’s view is central.  

We will also work on your own understanding of addiction. We will think together about why someone becomes addicted. And why does someone have cravings? What triggers play a role and how does someone experience them? Then we will discuss how you as a professional can deal with clients’ addiction, for example in a residential facility or other social care setting.   

“In this training, you will learn to look at substance dependence in new and different ways. In a non-judgemental and practical way. The aim is to better meet your client’s needs and improve their quality of life.” – Trainer Ferry Barendregt
