Diploma in Addiction Studies

The two-year Addiction Studies Diploma gives you the knowledge and hands-on preparation to build a meaningful career in the addiction field. You’ll learn how to combine theory with practical skills to support individuals, families, groups, and communities. Beyond the fundamentals, you’ll reflect on your own values and beliefs, developing professional skills that prepare you to work with people from all walks of life, including multicultural and Indigenous communities. As a graduate, you’ll be ready for support roles in both non-profit and private settings. Career opportunities span community organizations, schools, addiction services, residential programs, senior care facilities, and government agencies.
