The Substance Abuse Counseling Program
is a two-year program designed to
provide students with the knowledge and
skills needed as established by the Iowa
Board of Substance Abuse Certification
to become a certified alcohol and drug
counselor (CADC).
The last
semester includes a practicum to be
completed in an alcohol and drug
treatment unit where students will apply
the core education and skills they have
learned under the direct supervision of
a certified counselor. Students will
apply, be interviewed and accepted by
the treatment agency before
participation in the practicum.
Upon
completion of the program, students will
be eligible to take the certification
exam through the Iowa Board of Substance
Abuse Certification.
The program
is based on the Estherville Campus,
however, evening and weekend courses
will also be available on the Spencer
Campus.
