Eu fiz o curso de Advanced Drug Abuse Counseling Specialist Qualification Certificate na Stanmore School of Business e achei muito útil. A parte que mais gostei foi a ênfase na abordagem holística, considerando não apenas o vício em drogas, mas também os fatores sociais e psicológicos que influenciam o comportamento do paciente. O curso também ofereceu muitos recursos práticos, como ferramentas de avaliação e planejamento de tratamento. No entanto, achei que alguns tópicos poderiam ter sido explorados com mais profundidade. Em geral, foi uma experiência de aprendizado valiosa e eu recomendo para profissionais que desejam se especializar em aconselhamento de dependentes químicos.
