Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorder Professional (CODP I)

Why study in the co-occurring substance use and mental health disorder professionals program at Aurora University?
Traditionally, it has been difficult for clinicians to find all of the qualifying training to meet the requirements for pursuing Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorder Professionals (CODP I) Board Registration. Aurora University offers a four-credit course designed to meet the educational requirements for the CODP I Board Registration.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the demand for substance use and mental health professionals will continue to rise and noted that this field is predicted to grow at a much higher rate than other professions.
