Substance Use Disorder Counseling
About
SUDC Counselors help people who have alcohol and other drugs related issues. They counsel addicts, those who are concerned they may become addicts, and on occasion their loved ones. A SUDC does not prescribe medication or provide medical or psychological therapy. They usually help with practical problems, for example, helping a client find a job. In individual or group counseling settings a SUDC would help the client:
- identify behaviors and problems related to their substance use
- talk about, understand, and cope with problems
- develop personalized recovery programs
- establish healthy behaviors and coping strategies
Will the Substance Abuse Disorders Counseling (SUDC) certificate program meet the educational requirements for the professional credential in the state or US territory you might choose to live during or after completing your UVU degree? Visit the UVU Professional Licensure website to learn more.
