Throughout the North American healthcare industry, there is an acute need to increase the size of the workforce and raise the skill level of that workforce. A well-trained Addictions Worker (AW) is equipped with a flexible, adaptable career. Social and Community Service Workers administer and implement a variety of social assistance programs and community services specializing in addictions. They assist clients in coping with personal and social problems. They are employed by social service and government agencies, mental health agencies, group homes, shelters, substance abuse centres, school boards, correctional facilities and other establishments.
