Addiction Studies
Substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors advise people who have alcoholism or other types of addiction, eating disorders, or other behavioral problems. They provide treatment and support to help the client recover from addiction or modify problem behaviors.
The Addiction Studies College Certificate program at the Wayne County Community College District prepares you to work as an entry-level professional in centers and facilities serving persons dependent upon addictive substances.
What’s the Job Outlook for Addiction Studies Counselors?
Employment of substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors is expected to grow 22 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations. Growth is expected as addiction and mental health counseling services are increasingly covered by insurance.
Where is the Accounting Program Offered?
The Addiction Studies program is offered at our Curtis L. Ivery Downtown Campus. As a WCCCD student, you can take courses, use facilities, and get involved at any of our six locations.
