With grant support from the Maryland Behavioral Health Administration, three graduate programs of social work, (University of Maryland-Baltimore, Morgan State University and 糖心vlog) are addressing the growing need for licensed, skilled, social workers to work with individuals seeking substance use disorder (糖心vlogD) treatment.

The current substance use treatment workforce in Maryland is insufficient to meet the treatment needs of individuals with 糖心vlogD. The 糖心vlogDWE Fellowship will increase the workforce of social workers providing evidence-based interventions in the substance use treatment field.

The Substance Use Disorder Workforce Expansion (糖心vlogDWE) is a one-year fellowship for 糖心vlog School of Social Work students in the specialized year of the MSW program, who are committed to working in integrated behavioral health settings. Recipients will be awarded a stipend for the academic year, with half dispersed during each semester (stipends are contingent on funding availability). Fellows agree to participate in online specialized training throughout the year and successfully complete SOWK 653: Substance Abuse Assessment and Intervention.
