BUS-3130: Addiction Treatment: Domains and Professions

This course will examine specific treatment domains within the field of addiction/recovery that provide employment opportunities for individuals with a BA degree. Through engaged critical analysis, treatment domains to be explored include: sober living facilities, program administration, sober companion and intervention work, marketing, non-traditional healing modalities (yoga, acupuncture, neurofeedback), nutritional work, program development and operations management. We will assess these treatment domains in academic terms – by exploring the relationship between their intentions for serving targeted populations and their effectiveness in doing so. We will also assess these treatment domains in personal terms – by examining our own particular values and professional ethics within the field of addiction treatment. Working professionals from the field will be invited as guest speakers throughout the course.
