Addiction Studies and Counseling, AS (ASCP-AS)
The Addiction Studies and Counseling (formerly Drug & Alcohol Recovery Counselor) program provides the education and training needed to work effectively in the field of substance abuse disorders and recovery counseling. Students examine the techniques of professional counseling, current public health, trends and issues affecting the science of substance abuse disorders, counseling theories, continuum of care, environmental and familial risk factors contributing to substance use disorders, and counselor code of ethics. Students develop an understanding of the process of substance use disorders such as problem gambling, trauma-informed care, and knowledge of multicultural aspects of working with clients; and apply knowledge in a clinical setting by participating in two semesters of internships and seminar. The ASC program may also be ideal
