- Summary:
-
In the first part of this paper, training models and procedures of alcohol and drug counselors at paraprofessional levels are compared and elaborated. Findings from a review of more than 120 different training programs throughout the United States reveal that none of these programs are designed specifically to train behaviorally-oriented drug and alcohol counselors, and only a few training facilities include a behavior course in their curriculum. Some of the difficulties and advantages of short-term training of behaviorally-oriented workers are discussed. The second part of the paper describes behaviorally-oriented, paraprofessional drug counselor training procedures developed by the author in a community college setting. Information on evaluation procedures and curriculum design is included, as is a list of suggested readings. (Author)
