One-Year Certificate of Completion
The Addiction Studies Certificate curriculum was designed to meet the educational requirements for the Addiction Counselor Certification Board of Oregon (ACCBO) for students seeking certification as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor I (CADC I). After students complete the 1,000 hours of supervised training required for the certification, they are eligible to take the certification examination.
All coursework completed within this certificate transfers to KCC’s Criminal Justice Associate of Applied Science degree. Articulation agreements with Southern Oregon University (Criminal Justice) and Oregon Institute of Technology (Applied Psychology) accept these courses as approved electives.
