Academics
Since its inception in 1993, CASAT has developed academic curricula in substance abuse prevention and treatment for undergraduate and graduate students. CASAT has extensive experience translating evidence-based practices in addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery for both course development and infusion into pre-service academic curricula especially in frontier/rural states. Currently, the Minor in Addiction Treatment Services, established almost 20 years ago with grant support and still sponsored and taught by CASAT faculty, is the largest minor at UNR, with an enrollment of almost 800 students per semester taking in-person and online courses. Since CASAT’s academic program is available in both traditional classroom and online formats, students worldwide can earn minors in addiction treatment, take undergraduate or graduate courses that focus on addiction treatment issues, or enroll in problem gambling courses that provide initial training for certification as a problem gambling counselor. Internships are offered in the minor and required for the graduate emphasis.
