Micro-credential in Avhengighetsproblematikk

This 10-credit course introduces addiction and substance use, with attention to the interplay of biological, psychological and social factors in developing addiction. It draws on practice-near health and social perspectives from municipal and specialist health services, covering prevention, treatment and follow-up. A recovery-oriented focus emphasises collaboration across services with the user at the centre, and the course addresses substance dependence alongside mental illness, including the need for cross-service cooperation at all levels. The course is part-time and may be taken as a standalone study or as an elective in the master in health sciences or the interdisciplinary further education in mental health, substance use and addiction work. Admission requires a completed bachelor's degree.
