    Description
    Students will gain first-hand experience by working in community clinical settings that serve clients with various substance abuse problems. Emphasis is placed on the development of clinical competency through assisting in assessment, treatment planning, group facilitation, record-keeping, and general agency procedures. Students will have on-site supervision and then debrief their experiences with fellow students by sharing what they learned, as well as the challenges of providing substance abuse services in a community clinic setting. Additionally, students will explore possible locations for employment, learn interviewing skills, and develop an understanding of the necessary requirements for state and other professional certifications.
