This course is an introduction to the role of epigenetics in Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and the promise epigenetic research holds for future treatment options. Epigenetics offers an important piece of the SUD “puzzle”. This course is designed for the SAP/SAE who recognizes the multi-faceted expressions of SUDs and understands that a meaningful grasp of the substance abuse field as a whole is achieved through appreciation of its complexities. It is intended to be an overview and a resource for further study. Please note that an NRC Licensee may ask to review your SAE training and exam before approving you to consult with its employees.
