The Substance Use & Addictions Specialist program provides a research and practice-based course of study in Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs (ATOD) prevention, intervention, and treatment. The curriculum is grounded in social work philosophy and incorporates a biopsychosocial-spiritual framework that is strengths-based, culturally competent, and gender sensitive across the life span. The program is designed for MSW graduate students in good standing and community practitioners who hold MSW degrees from UNC Chapel Hill.
