Human Services Technology Substance Abuse Treatment Certificate

The Human Services Technology department offers a Certificate in Substance Abuse Treatment. The Certificate is designed for those individuals who already have a degree in a like field, such as counseling, psychology, human services, or social work, and are seeking additional knowledge in the area of substance abuse and/or State Certification/Licensure. The Certificate verifies receipt of 18 substance abuse-specific hours of study and may be used towards the initial Certification/Licensure or their renewal through the North Carolina Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board. If you already have a degree but it is not in a like field, you will be required to take additional courses prior to or in conjunction with those required for the Certificate.
