Training Excellence’s CPD-accredited Drug and Alcohol Awareness Training helps you gain the knowledge and skills to identify, prevent, and respond to drug and alcohol addiction effectively.
This online course begins with a clear introduction to drugs and alcohol addiction, covering an overview of commonly used substances, including prescription, illegal drugs, and alcohol. You’ll learn the physical, behavioural, and psychological signs of drug and alcohol abuse, giving you the confidence to spot potential issues early. The modules on prevention and workplace policies also help organisations develop safer, compliant environments by promoting drug and alcohol awareness among staff.
In the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery section, you’ll explore substance use disorders in detail and provide insight into recovery strategies and aftercare options. You’ll understand the journey of addiction and the steps to support someone through recovery, helping both individuals and teams manage risks and promote well-being. This online programme is particularly valuable for line managers, HR professionals, social care workers, and anyone working in settings where drug and alcohol issues may arise.
