Students acquire the abilities needed to deliver personalized, client-focused addiction treatment services. Building on core competencies in individual and group counseling, they examine how personal, gender-related, and social factors influence treatment approaches within a trauma-informed framework. The curriculum covers practical application of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), teaching students to align therapeutic methods with client requirements. Furthermore, learners redesign prevention and education initiatives to create, implement, and assess these programs effectively.
