Addictionology is a specialized field, which is
concerned with all the aspects of the trauma and crisis associated with
dependency and addiction in all of its forms on the individual, family and
society. It is focussed on the traumatological and neurobiological implications
of dependency and addiction rather than the latter exclusively. It does not
follow the typical conventional approaches to the treatment of dependency and
addiction, which are viewed as conditions and not weaknesses. It follows a modern, fresh and inclusive
approach. Addictionology brings together the inputs and
draws on a host of related sciences and views addiction from a holistic
perspective. Notwithstanding the heritage on which it stands, it is specific in
its content and purpose. Training in Addictionology at its various levels,
prepares and enables the individual to provide supportive and alleviation
interventions to sufferers of dependency and addiction. Addiction cannot be
cured, it is a condition that develops due to repetitive and long term exposure
and use of substances and /or behaviour as well as the chemical dependency that
develops and one that the person will have to learn to treat, identify and
manage for the rest of their lives. With its “holistic” approach, it offers
exciting and rewarding additional career and employment opportunities. Addictionology is not intended to, nor does it
replace any existing profession. It can be applied in its own right or it can
further enhance existing professional knowledge and ability. It is a
complementary as well as supplementary discipline. Training in Addictionology is really open to
anyone who has the genuine desire to work in the field. At entry level, beyond
the basic requirement of competency in English and a high/secondary/ senior
school final certificate, or equivalent you can decide to what level you wish
to train. In turn, this will determine at what level you can function in the
field of Addictionology and Addiction Resiliency Coaching. Your current educational level and content is
assessed, as well as any relevant experience, which will determine at which
point you will need to commence your training.
Training is provided by means of short courses in module form or on a
level basis by our training provider. This takes place either on a distance education
basis or supported education basis depending on the student’s country of
residence and or proximity to a training provider. Once you have successfully
completed the required number of short courses, the Training provider will
recognize these and award an applicable certificate or diploma. The short courses may also be completed
individually on a standalone basis. The short courses are conducted, through
completion of systemised training modules; attendance at practical workshops
(when applicable); self study; successful completion of assignments; interim
and final knowledge assessments and prescribed practical training. All short
course content is modularised, easy to understand and with a reasonable amount
of effort, commitment and diligence, successful completion of the courses is
within the reach of most people. Trainees are afforded the opportunity of
undergoing knowledge re-assessments in the event of this becoming necessary.
Prospective trainees must demonstrate an acceptable level of competency in
English as all courses are conducted in this language. BASIC ADDICTIONOLOGY (ADDICTION RESILIENCY
