I took the Substance Abuse Assessment and Treatment course at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great way to learn about the subject. The course was pretty straightforward, and the instructors did a good job of explaining the material. I liked that we got to learn about different types of substance abuse, and how to treat them. The course also covered some of the legal and ethical issues that come up in this field, which was really helpful. My only suggestion would be to add more real-life examples, but overall I was happy with the course.
