Addictive Disorders and Recovery Studies Undergraduate Minor
The Addictive Disorders and Recovery Studies (ADRS) Program, in conjunction with the Center for Collegiate Recovery Communities and the College of Arts and Sciences, offers an interdisciplinary minor. The ADRS minor is designed for students with professional, academic, or personal interest in addictive disorders. It provides students with an understanding of the physiological, psychological, societal, and familial factors contributing to addiction and the recovery from addiction.
With an Interdisciplinary Minor in Addictive Disorders and Recovery Studies offered through the ADRS Program, undergraduates meet all the academic requirements to become a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). Students pursuing the Community, Family, and Addiction Sciences (CFAS) undergraduate degree are required to take many of the ADRS courses as part of their degree plan. ADRS courses are also available to all students across campus that are interested in addiction but are not pursuing LCDC licensure.
