Students work in a setting which emphasizes the treatment of individuals with addictions, alcohol and drug abuse problems, and co-occurring mental health concerns. The Practicum Completion Seminar provides an opportunity to complete the second 440 hours, at a site licensed by the State of Minnesota to provide alcohol and drug as well as mental health treatment.

The accompanying on-campus seminar sessions, facilitated by a dually-licensed mental health professional, provide opportunities for discussion of case materials and concerns related to the practicum setting. Personal and professional issues relevant to the practicum experience are examined and discussed. Planning for the integration paper is introduced.
