The Skill Set These tasks are known as the 12 Core Functions of Addiction Counseling, and they include everything from patient screening to assessment to treatment planning and more. These core functions are foundational in addiction counseling and are required day-to-day skills and tasks. Each function actualizes a set of global criteria, and these 12 core functions are used by addiction professionals worldwide. 1. Patient Screening: Each patient is evaluated for signs of alcohol and drug use and any co- occurring disorders. 2. Intake: The admissions or intake process begins once the initial screening indicates that the patient is a good match for the program. 3. Orientation: During this process, the counselor helps the patient understand the program. With an outpatient program, you will provide information about daily services, hours of operation, and so forth. 4. Assessment: This is similar to screening but dives deeper into your patient’s history. 5. Treatment Planning: Each core function builds on the previous function, and once you have completed a detailed assessment, it’s time to work on planning the patient’s treatment. 6. Counseling: Counseling can involve many different options, including individual, family, and group counseling. Various types of therapy may be involved, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, to help patients deal with their issues. 7. Case Management: A certified addiction counselor creates a plan for each patient that includes various services and treatment options. 8. Crisis Intervention: A crisis can occur at any point during rehab or recovery, and steps will need to be taken as quickly as possible to mitigate the situation. 9. Client Education: Part of the job of an addiction counselor is helping to educate the patient about support services as well as about addiction in general. 10. Referral: There are times when a patient’s needs exceed a certified drug and alcohol counselor & scope of practice, and it is essential to identify these areas and find appropriate services to help them. 11. Reporting & Record Keeping: Maintaining records, including assessments, treatment plans, discharge summaries, and reports, is necessary for addiction counseling. All paperwork must be carefully organized while maintaining patient confidentiality at all times. 12. Consultation With Other Professionals: Consultation includes working with other professionals at your facility and contacting and collaborating with outside professionals. TWO. Education Requirements The core requirements are 315 educational units, including those noted above. Coursework covers counseling, professional ethics, case management, and much more. THREE.

The 255 practicum hours will include at least 21 hours using each of the 12 Core Functions. FOUR: Work Experience Paid work is available once the student has completed the education and practicum. This work will be the supervised experience necessary to earn the certification. A CADC-I will need to complete 3,000 hours of supervised work experience hours. An associate’s degree in behavioral science or an allied mental health profession reduces this requirement to just 2,080 hours. For CADC-IIs, any earned college degrees do not impact the 6,000 hours of supervised work experience required to become a CADC-II. CADC-III requires a bachelor’s degree and 4,000 hours of supervised work experience. FIVE: Testing Requirements CADCs must pass the IC&RC Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ADC) Exam.

Associate of Arts in Leadership Studies (Pastoral Ministry concentration) 20 COURSES 2 YEARS | 60 CREDITS[UNITS] ACADEMIC PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES The Associate of Arts in Leadership Studies (AALS) is a two-year program designed to equip students to serve as effective Christian leaders in a variety of capacities, especially in Christian ministry. The AALS is a concise, well-balanced program in biblical and leadership studies ideal for students who may not be able to commit to a longer program. It offers three concentration options: Pastoral Ministry, Christian Counseling, and Worship, Media & Creative Arts.
