Recovery Pathways MOOC
Consider completing this accredited MOOC which introduces the science of addiction recovery and looks at the evidence on recovery pathways in Europe. Recovery Pathways has a particular focus on gender differences in how people recover and what happens at different stages of recovery.
The course provides an insight into what we know about addiction recovery and how the European REC-PATH study has contributed to that knowledge.
