This Postgraduate Certificate is unique for the multitude of techniques and tools given to the psychologist so that they can specialize in addiction intervention” 

Aimed at psychologists who wish to specialize in the field of addictions, or who want to update their knowledge in this regard, it offers the latest advances in the field of psychological treatment of addictions and prevention, so that they can intervene competently in this type of problem. The program covers most of the addictions that a psychologist will encounter in their daily practice and will help them to situate and orientate themselves in the intervention in a realistic and committed way, to know the role they must play in the intervention together with other professionals and to know how to apply the most appropriate techniques for each moment of the intervention process.

In recent decades, addictions where there is no substance that produces dependence, but rather a habit or behavior, have also been added to the list of addictions which require treatment. This is the case of pathological gambling and addiction to new technologies, which are causing serious psychological and social health problems in both adults and young people. For these cases, psychology has also developed treatments that seek the reduction and elimination of such habits and behaviors, which we will cover in the last unit of this program.
