The Addiction Counseling Studies Certificate of Achievement is designed to prepare individuals for counseling in alcohol, drug, and other addictions. The program emphasizes a public health approach that addresses community, social, and individual-level factors in addiction while providing certificate candidates with a strong background in treatment modalities, health education and prevention, professional and ethical responsibilities, and client advocacy. Courses are sequenced based on knowledge and skills that are acquired as students move through the program. Students must complete internship fieldwork with a state-licensed substance abuse services agency. Each course for this certificate must be completed with a grade of “C” or better.
Projected enrollment is approximately 20 to 40 students for fall 2022 which includes Cerro Coso's campuses in KRV, IWV, EKC, and ESCC.
Projected Annual Completers: 15-20
Program goal is to address an occupational need in the region. The addiction counseling studies program is a new occupational program at Cerro Coso Community College. This program will give new dimension to the vocational programs of the college and will increase the offering of related psychology and human services courses.
Each course for this certificate must be completed with a grade of “C” or better.
