Introduction to the Program

Este Postgraduate certificatees único por la multitud de técnicas y herramientas que damos al psicólogo para que pueda especializarse en la intervención a las adicciones”

Según el Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad de España el consumo de cannabis y cocaína ha aumentado en un 50% en los últimos años en la población entre 15 y 54 años, especialmente en los estudiantes de Educación Secundaria, siendo más elevado este consumo entre los hombres. El Observatorio Español de la Droga y las Toxicomanías en su informe de 2016 afirma que la sustancia más consumida es el alcohol, estimando que 1.600.000 personas de 15 a 64 años presentan un consumo de alcohol de riesgo (5% de la población), triplicándose en la última década el consumo en atracón de alcohol (binge drinking) entre los jóvenes. Diariamente, El 31% de la población consume tabaco, el 7% consume hipnosedantes, el 2% cannabis, el 1% en el último mes cocaína. Por debajo del 1% en el último mes se sitúan las anfetaminas y drogas de síntesis y el 0,1% en heroína alguna vez durante el año. 

Se puede extraer una conclusión importante: el consumo y/o dependencia de las sustancias psicoactivas constituye un grave problema de salud pública. Esto conlleva graves problemas en las tres áreas en que se entiende la salud desde el modelo biopsicosocial: problemas en la esfera de la salud física, la psicológica y la social, no sólo durante el momento en que se consume, sino también en la salud futura del individuo. En este marco, las disciplinas y profesionales que se ocupan de la salud de la población, entre ellos/as los profesionales de la Psicología, están desarrollando tratamientos y protocolos de atención destinados a intervenir en los trastornos adictivos de forma eficaz. La dimensión de este problema requiere profesionales capacitados en el manejo de este peculiar campo de intervención.

En las últimas décadas, se han sumado a las adicciones a sustancias, aquellas adicciones donde no existe una sustancia que produce la dependencia, sino un hábito o una conducta. Es el caso del Juego Patológico y la adicción a las Nuevas Tecnologías, que están causando graves problemas en la salud psicológica y social, tanto en los adultos como en los jóvenes. Para estos casos, la Psicología también ha desarrollado tratamientos que buscan la reducción y eliminación de dichos hábitos y conductas.

Postgraduate Certificate in Updated Taxonomy of Addictions

The term “drug” (in its most common social meaning) is used to refer to the psychoactive substance that generates dependence in the consumer, however, to what extent can we broaden the connotations of this meaning? If the drug is that “something” that generates addiction while it significantly affects cognitive and/or emotional processes, becoming an obstacle to healthy personal development, then the concept can be applied to elements that do not necessarily fall into the field of drug addiction: gambling, sex or even social networks, for example. Knowing that a deepening of these new aspects is strictly necessary, TECH Global University presents the Postgraduate Certificate in Updated Taxonomy of Addictions: a detailed vision of the cases of physical and psychological dependence that have more interference in the detriment of the quality of modern life: from the well-known PAS (Psychoactive Substances) to the addictive disorders of objects other than narcotics. With this program you will be able to develop in a highly professional way in one of the most specialized areas of psychology.

Dare to study the world of addictions

The list of illustrious artists who have been ruined by the abuse of certain substances is so long that we would need an encyclopedia of several volumes to complete the list. How can we remain indifferent when the next individual susceptible to being dragged into a narcotics overdose could (under the right guidance) become the future artist who changes the world? The same case applies to other types of addictions that slow down the progress of the individual: compulsive gambling, for example, at the economic level, or addiction to new technologies at the level of interaction with the real world. As a proposal for social transformation, our Postgraduate Certificate will train you with the most suitable skills so that you can not only practice with the confidence of an expert, but also be an agent of change and well-being for countless lives.
