If you are compassionate, a patient listener, enjoy building relationships, easily relate to others, and have a belief in hope, you should look into the demanding, yet rewarding career of being a Substance Use Disorder Counselor.

Substance Use Disorder Counselors see patients in both an office setting and in the field and have appointments with individuals and groups. It involves listening and building trust to help a person break the cyclical nature of substance use disorder. It's about being their advocate and identifying what is needed to rebuild their relationships and lives. In our Alcohol and Other Drug Studies Program, you'll learn about addiction and the role family, and social networks play in an individual's addiction. We'll help you develop professional maturity and understand the ethical issues of substance use disorder counselling. With these skills, you'll have the opportunity to receive hands-on training through our internship program.
