Studies continue to support a direct connection between trauma and SUD, with at least 2/3 of those with SUD having a history of childhood trauma or abuse. Toxic stress in childhood from trauma, abuse, neglect, losses, and other adversities has been shown in research to be linked with an increased risk for SUD in adults.
This course is designed to review common ethical dilemmas encountered by the various professional disciplines working in the SUD treatment field.

Key factors include impulsivity and sensation seeking, self-medication for symptom relief, neurobiological differences in brain function, and co-occurring disorders like conduct and mood disorders.
