The Associate in Addiction Counseling program aims to teach you the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of addiction and recovery. You will also gain an appreciation of the connection between theory, research and practice in the fields of substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. Your student development will be driven through both theoretical and experiential learning.

Our program does not require every student to study the same subjects and use the same books and other learning materials as every other student. If you are a purpose-driven individual who wants to elevate their life and make a solid contribution to the world, then this program is for you.
