Description
This program is designed to provide students an understanding of the interrelatedness of addictions and chemical use and dependency on individuals, families, and society. A goal of the program is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to be able to recognize and treat individuals with chemical and co-occurring concerns. A variety of treatment approaches are studied with an emphasis on chemical health. Through their coursework and practicum experiences, students are expected to develop competency in the following twelve core functions of an alcohol and drug counselor: screening, intake, orientation, assessment, treatment planning, counseling, case management, crisis intervention, client education, referral, reports and record keeping, and consultation with other professionals regarding treatment and services. The program is designed to meet educational requirements for Minnesota licensure for licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC).
