D573 Understanding Substance Abuse and Addiction (HLTH 4340, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the addiction studies course shared by all four non-nursing health bachelor's degrees: term 7 of the B.S. Health and Human Services, term 6 of the B.S. Health Science, term 7 of the B.S. Psychology, and term 5 of the B.S. Public Health, with no prerequisites stated in the catalog. The published description runs from causes, signs, and symptoms through impact on individuals, groups, and the community to evidence-based prevention, intervention, and treatment strategies. Coursework Ninja completes the academic work done-for-you. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, D573 provides an overview of substance abuse causes, impact, prevention, and treatment. Students understand the signs and symptoms of substance abuse and addiction and its impact on individuals, groups, and the community. Students analyze relevant factors that initiate and reinforce substance abuse and addiction and describe evidence-based strategies for prevention, intervention, and treatment. The catalog states there are no prerequisites for this course.
D573 lands late on three of its four tables: term 7 of the B.S. Health and Human Services, term 6 of the B.S. Health Science, and term 7 of the B.S. Psychology, with the B.S. Public Health placing it earlier at term 5. On the psychology table it sits inside the abnormal psychology cluster, and on the human services table it closes the special populations run. The same four tables also share D568 Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health and D572 Career and Lifelong Learning.

Coverage
What D573 completion covers
The D573 assessment
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. The description centers cause, impact, and evidence-based strategy analysis. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment D573 carries.
Signs, symptoms, and causes
The description's foundation: the signs and symptoms of substance abuse and addiction plus the factors that initiate and reinforce it. Scored work distinguishes the two, because a cause list is not a symptom list.
Impact at three levels
Individuals, groups, and the community are all named in the description. An impact section that stops at the individual user leaves two of the three scored levels untouched.
Initiating and reinforcing factors
The analysis the description asks for: which factors start substance abuse and which keep it going. The reinforcement half is the one students drop, and it is the half the description names second on purpose.
Evidence-based prevention, intervention, and treatment
The closing strand: strategies for all three phases, described as evidence-based. Prevention, intervention, and treatment are distinct categories in the description, and a single awareness campaign does not cover them.
Full degree plan integration
D573 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in any of the four health tables it folds into the flat bachelor's package at $3,000, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.
