• Module 1 will explore the guiding principles of withdrawal management as well as 42 C.F.R. & HIPAA. 
• Module 2 will explore the goals of withdrawal management and the six dimensions of the levels of care.
• Module 3 will explore drug classifications and withdrawal symptoms for each substance, special populations, vital signs and certified detoxification technicians requirements. 
• Module 4 requires you to be trained by a registered nurse on how to take a patient's vital signs using the blood pressure cuff to determine the client's blood pressure, how to take a patient's temperature, and how to take a patient's pulse and respiratory rate.
