Dr. Stephanie Drcar, Certificate Program Coordinator

Joint Certificate Program with the Department of Counseling, Administration, Supervision, & Adult Learning and the School of Social Work.

Introduction

One of the fastest growing job markets in the mental health disciplines is chemical dependency counseling. The state of Ohio now has its own board to license chemical dependency counselors (The Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board - OCDPB). This program provides all the academic training for all levels of chemical dependency counseling licensure.

Faculty Research

Both the counseling and social work faculty have ongoing research projects related to the training of chemical dependency professionals and treatment outcomes in the field.

Career Information

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics identifies substance abuse counseling as an area in which employment demands will grow much faster than average from 2020 to 2030. This means there is, and will continue to be, a large demand for incoming graduates to fill the vacant positions.
