Drug and Alcohol Studies Certificate

Make a career out of making a difference.

We all want a career that is just as rewarding personally as it is professionally. Our Drug and Alcohol Studies Certificate provides students with the professional counseling skills needed to help someone overcome an addiction. Potential career paths include a variety of human service professions that will allow you to make a difference each and every day. Alcohol and drug counselors, MFTs, LCSWs and R.N.s are just a few of the professionals that benefit highly from this program.

Upon completion of this program, students will have the opportunity to be certified by the California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP) – formerly the CAADAC.
