Addiction and the BIT

Substance Use Disorders are characterized by physical withdrawal symptoms, cravings and psychological dependence.  Today, the public health and medical communities, report that substance abuse, suicides and diabetes drove a rise in premature deaths in nearly half the country, according to researchers who mapped variations in death rates among people 20 to 55 years old. College campuses are not immune however some responses may be considered anemic.

This webinar will offer a model of assessment, treatment, and monitoring of individuals and communities impacted by this epidemic.  The vulnerability and risk of college-aged individuals will be presented within the context of developmental stages, genetic predisposition, communal pressure, and psychological comorbidity.
