ADCS 1220 - Professional Ethics and Pre-Practicum Issues
Credits: 2
This course is designed to reinforce professional ethics and prepare students to complete their practicum in a licensed substance use disorder treatment facility. It explores a model for ethical decision making in reference to Substance Related Disorder, including confidentiality, professional boundaries, and rules of conduct. The course includes a minimum of six hours of instruction in Addiction Counseling ethics as required by the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy, Minnesota Association of Resources for Recovery, and Chemical Health and National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors. In this course, faculty will evaluate student readiness for a practicum and guide students in selecting practicum sites for the next semester. Students will examine their strengths and areas for improvement as a potential alcohol and drug-abuse counselor, develop goals and criteria for practicum site selection, and interview at a variety of possible treatment and program sites. At the end of this course, students must choose and be accepted by an appropriate practicum site approved by program faculty. Students must earn at least a “C” (2.0) grade in this course in order to be eligible for practicum the following semester and must undergo a criminal background check through the Minnesota Department of Human Services. The course must be taken A-F.
