The Human Services Certificate: Emphasis in Addiction and Recovery Studies is designed to assist students with additional skills and knowledge to help persons suffering from substance use disorders and other process addictions. It is designed to enhance the overall Human Services A.A.S. degree program making sure students who plan to work in the addiction and recovery fields have a foundational competence when working with individuals, families, and communities impacted by addictions.
