Substance Use Disorders and Addictions
Certificate
The School of Social Work at UNCW offers this certificate program that
meets the educational requirements for the Licensed Clinical Addictions
Specialist (LCAS) credential administered by the North Carolina
Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board (NCSAPPB)*. The LCAS
credential is quickly becoming the qualification of choice for managed
care and insurance companies.
Courses will be taught in the evening by credentialed faculty, using inperson (seated), hybrid, and online formats. Courses are sequenced,
offered one at a time in an intensive format of 7.5 weeks beginning Fall
2015.
This four-course sequence is open to social work practitioners with the
Master of Social Work degree in the Wilmington and Jacksonville areas.

LCAS credential. Students and practitioners pursuing the LCAS credential should contact the NCSAPPB.
