The use of alcohol and other drugs continues to be a social problem touching all elements of society: loss of work proficiency, functional relationships, appropriate parenting and, ultimately, human life. Moraine Valley Community College's Addictions Studies Program recognizes that the treatment of addictions must be comprehensive―treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. You will be taught by professionals with years of experience in alcoholism and other addictions counseling. The program includes an internship that will allow you to gain valuable on-the-job experience and apply what you have learned in your courses. The primary goal of this program is to give students the essential knowledge and skills to meet counselor certification training requirements of the Illinois Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Professional Certification Association. Certification—Once you complete this
program, the coordinator will provide you with information about professional
certification organizations and procedures for becoming certified. |
