Connecticut State Community College Gateway

Subject:

Description:

Provides students with the experience of spending 15 hours per week in a substance abuse treatment facility under the joint supervision of the DARC program and a credentialed supervisor at the facility. Students will observe the treatment process from intake to discharge. Students will observe, practice, and develop competency in the 12 core functions of addiction counseling. As students develop increased competence, they will progress from active observers to co-counselors, and then to counselors. To enhance the field experience, students will continue academic study during a weekly seminar. Students will be expected to reflect on their fieldwork, participate in clinical supervision as well as peer group interaction and continue their research in support of counseling theories. Prerequisites: DAR* 101, DAR* 111, DAR* 112 and DAR* 158; ENG* 101 with a "C" or better within five years and permission of the program coordinator. Prerequisite DAR classes must be completed in consecutive semesters. If a student is unable to complete DAR* 252 in the spring following DAR* 251, DAR* 251 will need to be taken again. (This is a selective admission component of the DARC program).
