Addictions/Substance Abuse

Certificate: Public Service
Credit Requirements: 28 Semester Credit Hours

The Addictions/Substance Abuse certificate program 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. Students may choose to work in a treatment facility or work in a prevention capacity. A clear criminal background check by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is also required for students prior to field placement assignment in HUS 150. Students may be subject to additional agency screening above and beyond those required by TTC.

Admission into this program requires proof of high school diploma (or GED) and qualifying scores on SAT, ACT or the TTC placement test.

All courses in the Addictions/Substance Abuse certificate program can be counted toward the Human Services associate degree in Public Service.
