Program
Description:
The A.A.S. degree program in Chemical Dependency Counseling is
designed to prepare students to function as chemical dependency
counselors in a broad range of treatment settings such as residential
and outpatient programs, detoxification units, and halfway houses.
Program graduates may also broaden their area of study to psychology,
counseling or social work at the bachelor’s and master’s degree levels.
Through the A.A.S. degree program, students will complete a core of
courses in chemical dependency counseling, and general college courses
in writing, science, math and communications. Students in the A.A.S.
degree program will also complete two internships in facilities
providing chemical dependency counseling services. This experiential
counseling opportunity greatly enhances the student’s knowledge and
skills.
Certification for chemical dependency counselors is required by the
State of Maryland. The credentialing process includes a combination of a
college degree in a health or human services counseling field; course
work specific to chemical dependency counseling; hours of supervised
counseling experience; and passing a state-approved examination. Both
the degree requirement and specific alcohol and drug course work are met
by the completion of this degree.
NOTE: Through a special joint partnership between CCBC Dundalk
and Towson University, students can pursue a Bachelor's of Professional
and Technical Studies in Chemical Dependency Counseling and Education
degree at Towson University. Interested students should see the program
coordinator for more information.
