About Substance Abuse Counseling

The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Substance Abuse Counseling at Kilgore College can be completed in two years and provides the educational foundation required by the Texas Department of State Health Services to pursue a credential as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). The program offers online classes as well as a structured supervised practicum in an approved off-campus training site during the last two semesters of course work.
