The Addiction Studies program is based on a holistic behavioral-health care approach, and is accredited through the National Addiction Studies Accreditation Commission. The program provides students with instruction from industry leading instructors and teaches the necessary skills for working in the recovery field. Graduates of the Edmonds College Addiction Studies program are highly sought by employers from a variety of disciplines. Students completing the program satisfy the educational requirements for earning a Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) certification with the Washington State Department of Health. The Addiction Studies Certificate is designed for students who have already earned an associate’s degree (or higher) in Human Services (or a related field) and need to complete their SUDP specific coursework.

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
