The Addictions/Substance Abuse certificate prepares students to perform ancillary psychotherapeutic treatment functions in both inpatient and outpatient facilities that cater to a broad range of addictive or compulsive behaviors. A SLED background check is also required for students prior to field placement assignments. Admission into this program requires proof of high school diploma or GED, and qualifying scores on SAT, ACT, or the TTC placement test. Students enrolled in any of the field placement courses (HUS 134, 150 or 250) may be subject to additional agency screening above and beyond those required by Trident Technical College.
