The Substance Use and Addiction Specialist (SUAS) program offers a research- and practice-based program of study in problematic substance use, substance addiction and behavioral addiction. The program is designed to prepare social work professionals to work with clients who have co-occurring diagnoses and/or substance use and behavioral addictions.
The SUAS curriculum includes four required courses, one elective course, and a field practicum. SUAS courses are counted as part of the student’s overall credit hours earned for the MSW degree. Students register for SUAS courses as they would register for any course at UNC-Chapel Hill.
