All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).<\/p>\n Living with a dual diagnosis can cause complex physical, psychological and social difficulties for a wide range of people.\u00a0Dual diagnosis is typically associated with negative consequences and widely affects many of life\u2019s domains. Research suggests that those with a dual diagnosis compared to those with a single disorder experience much higher rates of violent behaviour,\u00a0suicidal ideation, suicide and physical health problems.<\/p>\n This online Dual Diagnosis training aims to improve the learner\u2019s understanding of dual diagnosis, including the relationship between substance abuse and mental illness.<\/p>\n Certificate duration:<\/strong>\u00a02 years<\/p>\n Entry requirements:<\/strong>\u00a0No entry restrictions<\/p>\n Recommended prerequisites:<\/strong>\u00a0N\/A<\/p>\n Assessment type:<\/strong>\u00a0End of course assessment<\/p>\n Assessment pass mark<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 80% needed to pass and gain a CPD certificate<\/p>\n Cost(s) of assessment and certification<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 All costs included in the course price<\/p>\n Awarding\/Accrediting body<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 CPD Certification Service (CPDUK)<\/p>\n This Dual Diagnosis e-learning course should be completed by those who work\u00a0in mental health and social care services, including:<\/p>\n This Dual Diagnosis e-learning course covers the following:<\/p>\n The aims and objectives of this online\u00a0Dual Diagnosis training course are to improve the learner\u2019s understanding of dual diagnosis, including substance abuse and mental illness.<\/p>\n On completion of this online Dual Diagnosis training course, the learner will be able to:<\/p>\n Dual diagnosis\u00a0(also called\u00a0co-occurring disorders,\u00a0COD, or\u00a0dual pathology)\u00a0is the condition of suffering from a\u00a0mental illness\u00a0and a\u00a0comorbid\u00a0substance abuse problem. There is considerable debate surrounding the appropriateness of using a single category for a\u00a0heterogeneous\u00a0group of individuals with complex needs and a varied range of the issues.<\/p>\n The concept can be used broadly, for example, depression and alcoholism, or it can be restricted to specify severe mental illness (e.g.\u00a0psychosis,\u00a0schizophrenia) and substance misuse disorder (e.g.\u00a0cannabis abuse), or a person who has a milder mental illness and a drug dependency, such as\u00a0panic disorder\u00a0or\u00a0generalized anxiety disorder\u00a0and is\u00a0dependent on opioids. Diagnosing a primary psychiatric illness in substance abusers is challenging as drug abuse itself often induces psychiatric symptoms, thus making it necessary to differentiate between substance-induced and pre-existing mental illness.<\/p>\n Those with co-occurring disorders face complex challenges. They have increased rates of relapse, hospitalisation,\u00a0homelessness, and\u00a0HIV\u00a0and\u00a0hepatitis C\u00a0infection compared to those with either mental or substance use disorders alone.\u00a0The cause of co-occurring diseases is unknown, although there are several theories.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The aims and objectives of this online\u00a0Dual Diagnosis training course are to improve the learner\u2019s understanding of dual diagnosis, including substance abuse and mental illness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":98852,"template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"product_cat":[32,78,76,88],"product_tag":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/advitamlearning.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/28397"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/advitamlearning.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/advitamlearning.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advitamlearning.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/advitamlearning.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advitamlearning.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=28397"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advitamlearning.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=28397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Who is the course for?<\/b><\/h2>\n
