Advancing Addiction Education For Better Care

Prevention, Treatment and Recovery

We cover the addiction education from prevention and clinical care to long-term recovery. Professionals, students and community members gain knowledge and skills that help them support people living with substance use disorders.

Training Future Addiction Specialists

Fellowships, and training at the Hoxworth Addiction Recovery Clinic, prepare physicians to care for people with substance use disorders. Clinical care research, prevention and recovery help grow access to evidence-based addiction treatment.

Shared Research and Best Practices

The Summer Speaker Series highlights research and best practices in addiction care, sharing emerging science and real-world strategies so clinicians, students and community members can apply the knowledge in their practices and communities.

Degrees and Certificates in Addiction

A Bachelor of Science in Substance Abuse Counseling and a Substance Abuse Prevention Certificate give learners structured paths to careers in counseling and prevention with a strong foundation in addiction science and practical skills.

Grounded in Clinical Research Expertise

Our education programs draw on the clinical experience and research leadership of UC Addiction Center so learners are taught by experts actively involved in addiction treatment research, prevention and recovery work.

Focused on Improving Community Outcomes

We emphasize how addiction education can improve prevention, clinical care and recovery support in schools, clinics and communities, helping more people receive informed and compassionate support for substance-use challenges.
