Thank you so much for the opportunity to be able to complete these courses on my time – some days I am able to dedicate 8-10 hours and some days I cannot log on at all. Not having to present to a “scheduled class” on a particular day at a set time makes it so much more convenient to meet the necessary requirements and I cannot thank you enough for creating this program and these courses

Or Purchase Individual Courses
You don’t have a significant initial investment when you choose to purchase courses individually. However, data analysis shows us that students who pursue their career one course at a time tend to take considerably longer to finish the training.
This is because it’s easy to finish training and then take a break before buying the next training. Breaks get longer, motivation falters, and the road looks a helluva lot longer.
We strongly suggest using this option only if you have previously begun your counseling addiction training elsewhere and then withdrew. Our counseling courses function more for renewing your addiction counseling credential.
However, if you want to pursue this option or maybe test the waters to see if online substance use counselor education and training is for you, we suggest you start here.

Be the CHANGE we Need!
I found the training to be not only interesting but informative and helpful. I love the recovery field; therefore, I enjoy learning and did well with the training. As a visual learner, I respond well to visual teaching; therefore, the pre-recorded videos and added resources benefited me. I could download the workbooks and follow along with the videos while taking notes. I also liked repeating the questions in the final exam because the repetitive question from previous tests helped me learn.
This has been an incredible journey and I am so very glad that I have completed this program. I’ve been wanting to do this for so very long, but couldn’t find a way to do it, due to work conflicts. Just so grateful. Thank you so much! 🙂
This was a very comprehensive course, that seemed to cover every conceivable nuance related to being an Addictions Counselor. I say this as someone who has gone through the entire certification process once before, and as someone who has spent a few years working in the field in various roles.
