Why This Course?
Substance use disorder is a growing concern in our rapidly progressing society. It can be a strange, and terrifying experience both for those who suffer from it, and those who witness it. But did you know that substance use disorder, otherwise known as addiction, has its roots in biological processes, and socioeconomic factors that affect all of us?
Join us as we explore the history, biology, and an approach to substance use disorders, and contextualize it to a Biblical worldview!
