Our
Internship Process
allows students the opportunity to obtain internships that
provide the hands-on training and experience needed to
secure permanent placement as a substance abuse counselor.
After a student's fourth module the internship process
begins. Internship assignments can vary based on the student’s
preference for modality, population and other variables. All
internship sites are licensed by OASAS and the hours
accumulated apply towards the requirements needed to take
the New York State CASAC examination.
