This course will familiarize students with the problems of chemical dependency and its impact on the individual, family, and society. An understanding of the impact of chemical dependency, and knowledge of the basic principles of treatment and referral, constitute important aspects of professional preparation for counselors, psychologists, and educators. Problems and current approaches in defining, evaluating and treating chemical dependency will be explored. The course is structured to conform with the training of the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Service and fulfills an essential educational requirement for those students who wish to become certified as Credentialed Alcoholism Counselors (CAC).
