Master of Arts in Counseling With Concentration in Addictions Counseling

Program Overview

The Addiction Counseling program provides the necessary coursework to prepare counselors to work in a wide range of settings with diverse populations. Addictions counselors typically work in community-based settings, including substance use agencies, clinical mental health facilities, hospitals, community service agencies, and private practice. Our graduates are employed in these settings and use their specialized training to aid clients with addictions, co-occurring disorders, and other mental health concerns.

Graduates of our Addictions Program are able to apply and obtain licensure as both a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
