Topics include addiction knowledge, treatment knowledge, professionalism, evaluation, service coordination, documentation, and individual and group counseling.
The Mount offers two courses that meet the Ohio Chemical Dependency Professional Board (OCD) requirements for the Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA) Preliminary and Renewable. Preliminary begins in January while the classes for Renewable begin in Fall. This schedule allows for ample time to complete all of the state requirements.
