This Postgraduate certificate is unique for the multitude of techniques and tools that we give to the psychologist so that they can specialize in the intervention of addictions”

According to the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality, the consumption of cannabis and cocaine has increased by 50% in recent years among the population between 15-54 years old. It is especially common among secondary school students, with consumption being most common among males. The Spanish Observatory on Drugs and Drug Addiction in its 2016 report states that the most consumed substance is alcohol. It estimates that 1,600,000 people (5% of the population) aged 15 to 64 years demonstrate high-risk alcohol consumption, with binge drinking tripling in the last decade. 

Therefore, the use and/or dependence on psychoactive substances constitutes a serious public health problem. This leads to serious problems in the three areas in which health is understood from the biopsychosocial model: problems in the sphere of physical, psychological and social health, not only during the moment of consumption, but also in the future health of the individual. Within this framework, treatments and care protocols are being developed to intervene in addictive disorders. 

In recent decades, addictions have been added to those where there is no substance that produces dependence, but a habit or behavior. This is the case of pathological gambling and addiction to new technologies, which are causing serious psychological and social health problems in adults and young people. For these cases, Psychology has also developed treatments that seek the reduction and elimination of such habits and behaviors.
