Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation (HA)

Students enrolled in the associate degree program take the coursework leading to employment in comprehensive substance abuse rehabilitation hospitals, dual diagnosis programs, clinics, prevention programs, health care and welfare facilities. Experience has shown that people with a minimum of one year of recovery have a better chance of success in this field of study.

For students intending to further their education, the program provides transferable credit to four-year colleges.

Since the program involves a field placement(s) working with vulnerable populations, students are required to undergo a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) and/or Sex Offender Registry Information (SORI) check. Depending on the contents of a student's CORI and/or SORI, placement may be denied. Students who are unable to participate in the field placement(s) will not meet program requirements.
