Students are provided with the opportunity to learn more advanced skills in counseling including developing and facilitating a group. Basic theoretical and practical foundations of group work and its application to chemical dependency is emphasized. Special issues that may arise with persons diagnosed with substance use disorders (HIV/AIDS, mental illness, mandated clients, physical challenges, cultural barriers, etc.) are covered with a focus on skill-learning and techniques to facilitate therapeutic change. Relapse prevention training and addressing vocational-educational barriers to long-term recovery are also emphasized within the context of motivational interviewing, stages of change, and other prominent relapse prevention counseling theories. Documentation of group work will be practiced, continuing the principles and techniques learned in SAC 2200.
