I want to Thank the clinicians that put this course together, I found it very informative and helpful as I begin my career in substance abuse treatment at a rehab facility. You are appreciated.

This course will serve me in practice, personal life, and as a resource to come back to when I have questions. Thanks for the well organized and very informative, evidence based, information.

This was informative, but out of touch in terms of functional interventional techniques for replacement behavior & medication. This is also doesn't take into account simultaneous research in possible rudimentary positive feedback loops/reinforcement in comparison to extreme negative feedback loops i.e. effectiveness of specific methods of extreme behavior modification with Stanford prisoner study electroshock "therapy" vs. basic positive reinforcement using a Pavlovian method. Also didn't discuss practical methods for effective gambling cessation techniques & effective means of muting environmental stimuli that increase the likelihood of keeping people in cycles of financial distress/poverty. Could've used studies that involve functional MRI, or EEG in the positive reward feedback loop in order to personalize & identify possible strategies to replace the behavior with reasonably attempting to find out what an equally rewarding behavior might be to an individual (since those obviously vary per person) vs. archaic techniques in prescribing what could only be described as "punitive" (& frankly negatively stigmatized) tranquilizers & sedatives. I get that it's an introductory class, but there are far more interesting topics & methods for successful & functional behavior reallocation that could stand to be discussed.
