Description:
The Human Services: Alcohol and Drug Major provides the educational component necessary for certification as a Certified Addiction Treatment Specialist through the California Association of Alcohol and Drug Educators (CAADE). Students completing the coursework are eligible to sit for the certifying exam to become a Certified Addiction Treatment Specialist. The Santa Rosa Junior College Human Services: Alcohol and Drug program is accredited by CAADE.
The Human Services Alcohol and Drug certificate program provides the academic preparation and field experience needed to work with a drug dependent population. It provides a broad base of knowledge regarding approaches to drug education and prevention, treatment issues, counseling skills, ethical issues, as well as practical knowledge about drugs and their effects. The Human Services Alcohol and Drug program prepares students to work in a community setting at an entry level.
For students interested in a Certificate of Achievement, a Human Services: Alcohol and Drug certificate is available.
Employment options include working with non-profit agencies as well as local, state and federal agencies. Examples of these agencies are job training programs, residential settings and private social service agencies.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the human services field and its operational function in relation to client services;

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.

Notes:
It is strongly recommended that students complete COUN 91 and COUN 99I in the final semester of taking the core requirements. In this program, COUN 99I consists of internships in alcohol or drug settings.
CAADE Certification requires that students complete two internships in different modalities. Students will therefore complete a second COUN 99I internship as part of the Alcohol and Drug emphasis requirements.
