This specialty area is designed to prepare rehabilitation counselors to work with persons having alcohol and drug related problems. A student desiring to work toward the Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with a concentration in Alcoholism Counseling and Addiction Services is generally governed by the conditions of the regular graduate program. Six additional courses are required to complete the degree program, which includes eighteen credit hours in the area of specialization. An individualized program plan is prepared for each student, based on his/her interest and background of preparation.
The Coordinator of the Rehabilitation Counselor Education program will be responsible for developing the 76 semester hour program for each student at the time of his/her entry into the program. The student's plan will remain in the files of his/her departmental office as well as the office of the Division of Graduate Studies.
Nine credit hours (600 clock hours) in internship courses are included in the program and are directed to supervised field experience in addiction facilities. Students seeking certification in alcoholism counseling may take additional courses in field training as required, to complete 4,000 clock hours of field work required by the Maryland Alcoholism Counselors Certification Board.
