Field Instruction Addiction Certification II

Catalog description

This course is designed for students who have not yet earned an undergraduate degree, and are in the undergraduate level program pursuing an addictions certification as a standalone certification who have completed one section of field instruction (SWK xxxa). This field course is designed to advance the professional experiences of students who have, or will practice in an agency providing substance use services with the unique knowledge and skills required by this setting. Students, in conjunction with the School of Social Work and their field instructor(s), continue to integrate theoretical and conceptual knowledge in working with populations impacted by substance use through an integrated learning experience that allows them to transfer skills developed in other settings to the addictions field. Completion of this course provides advancements towards students' eligibility to apply for the Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) certification through the Illinois Certification Board (ICB).
