NSG 368. Chronic Illness: Treatment Strategies for Substance Use Disorders

Nurses interact with individuals dealing with an array of chronic health issues including the use and abuse of psychoactive substances. Nurses are often first to recognize problems related to substance use disorders in hospitals and their communities. Nationally, there is a current healthcare crisis related to substance abuse, and deaths attributed to opioids continue to increase. This course examines the urgent need for all nurses to have a better understanding of substance use disorders and available treatment strategies to help address this problem. Prerequisite: NSG 357  and NSG 357L .
