The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Addiction Treatment is designed to provide education in addiction treatment for bachelor-level professionals working with or seeking to work with the addiction population. The certificate program, upon completion, prepares students to pursue appropriate supervision toward North Carolina Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board (NCSAPPB) credentials.
 

For information regarding deadlines and requirements for admission, please see https://grs.uncg.edu/programs/.

In addition to the materials required by the Graduate School, a 2.7 GPA is required for admission to the P.B.C. in Addiction Treatment.

The North Carolina Addictions Specialist Professional Practice Board (NCASPPB) licensure/certification process for addiction counselors in North Carolina is a separate process from this certificate program. If an applicant wants to be a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) in North Carolina or Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), the applicant will need to contact the board directly.
