Learn about the psychosocial components of abuse with an updated program at the forefront of science”

The WHO considers drugs as any substance that has a dependency effect on the person's body. However, in recent years, medicine has managed to restrict the concept of “drug of abuse” to a group of substances that are capable of creating a habit of consumption, psychological symptoms and dependence with a negative impact on all aspects of life of a patient.  

For this reason, cases of poisoning have increased in hospital emergency rooms, requiring more and more professionals trained in understanding the signs and signals of these patients to care for them effectively. For this reason, a program has been developed that covers the different aspects related to the consumption and addiction behavior of these substances.  

Furthermore, it is a 100% online postgraduate certificate that provides students with comfortable study and ease, wherever and whenever they want it. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in keeping with the current times with all the guarantees to position the nurse in a highly demanded sector.
