Alcohol and drug information school services provide an educational program about substance use. These services are for an individual referred by a court or other jurisdiction(s) who may have been assessed and determined not to require treatment. In addition to meeting requirements for substance use disorder information and assistance services in WAC 246-341-0744, an agency providing alcohol and drug information school services must:
(1) Ensure courses are taught by a certified information school instructor or a chemical dependency professional (CDP) who:
(a) Advises each student there is no assumption the student has a substance use disorder and that the course is not a therapy session;
(b) Follows a department-approved curriculum;
(c) Ensures each course has no fewer than eight hours of classroom instruction; and
(d) Administers each enrolled student the post-test for each course after the course is completed;
(2) Ensure a school instructor who is not a CDP has a certificate of completion of an alcohol and other drug information school instructor's training course approved by the department, and the personnel file contains documentation of the training; and
(3) Ensure each individual student record contains:
(a) An intake form, including demographics;
(b) The hours of attendance, including dates; and
(c) A copy of the scored post-test.
