Training Manual for Clinical Guidelines for Withdrawal Management and Treatment of Drug Dependence in Closed Settings

This training manual has been written as a companion to the WHO Clinical Guidelines for Withdrawal Management & Treatment of Drug Dependence in Closed Settings. It contains comprehensive trainer's notes and participant handouts. A powerpoint slideshow is also provided as a teaching aid. The training described in this manual is suitable for all people who work in a health or welfare capacity in closed settings and whose work involves people who use drugs. 

Throughout the trainer's notes are sections of boxed text containing references to participant handouts. These should be used to ensure participants are looking at the correct handouts. Also in boxed text are suggested activities. The trainer may wish to use these, or to use other activities that they have found useful in training.
