Online CASAC Home Study is here— Forget Classes and Webinars.
Hybrid CASAC Education and Training is Here!

In the past, when you wanted to pursue a career as an addiction professional, you had to hustle from work to a stuffy old classroom.

CASACs already working in the field remember:

• hustling out of work to get to the training facility,
• choking down fast during the first 30 minutes of class,
• worrying about their children at home,
• And the looming threat of getting home at 11 PM so you could get in bed before you had to wake up and do it all again. 

Where did they find the time?

Studying in situations like these creates stress. And face it, most of us are already stressed out enough.

Why pay money to add more stress? 

If you’re anything like me, you might never feel comfortable studying in an environment of your peers.

Do you tend to get distracted?

• Other participants who are not there to learn
• Being forced to listen to the same student talk about themselves
• Instructors going off on tangent after tangent
• Students who dominate class discussions.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced us all indoors. Technology became our answer. People started working and studying from home.

The addiction recovery field found a workaround with telehealth and training programs switched to webinars.

So if you’re interested in getting your initial 350 education and training, you now have choices.

Most programs offer an in-person classroom or 350 webinar-based virtual training options. However, both of these options do not put you in control of your education and training.

Educational Enhancement CASAC Online is the first CASAC training provider to offer you a hybrid training environment. When you choose us, you can study at your own pace and over 125 hours of instructor-led virtual strength-building workshops.

You will still contend with the same issues listed above:

• Instructor’s drone on and on.
• Most of the students don’t participate.
• There are always a few who monopolize the day’s lesson talking about themselves and how they will be great clinicians because they got sober and then helped their Aunt Martha stop drinking, too.
• Don’t worry. Our virtual webinar facilitators will not allow students to drone on and on and waste their precious time. Our virtual webinars were created for one reason: to enhance your addiction counseling skills.

Studying like this causes your days to melt into one another, especially after working all day.

But because you want a career in the addiction recovery field, you’ll continue to drag your tired self to class.

You show up and do your best to listen, but the same monotonous educational experience breaks you down.

At some point, you’ll count hours like a prisoner whose sentence is close to completion. 

It’s important to note that programs offer virtual training (webinar-based only)or in-person training programs that do not allow you to miss any classroom time.

So if you have to take a couple of hours

• for an appointment,
• to tend to a sick family member, or
• take your car to the mechanic

you will not get credit for the time you were in the session that day. For example, if you sit in the virtual training for 7 hours one day and have to leave an hour early for an emergency, you will not get credit for that day at all. It’s all or nothing.

Let’s review what other CASAC education and training providers program entails:

• Jammed in a room or Zoom session for 8 hours daily with 25 -30 classmates who might or might not care about CASAC education and training.  
• If you opt to go to the classroom, you’ll still have to contend with the threat of COVID-19 or other viruses or infections.
• Attending webinars that span an entire day creates exhaustion and does not facilitate learning
• No flexibility. You have to be ready to start when the class starts. You cannot leave early if you want credit for the day.
• Contending with students who monopolize the training. 
• Instructors love students who are long-winded. Students who can talk about themselves for hours reduce the trainer’s actual workload. Hell, some facilitators hope they have several students like this in every training, so they don’t have to work so hard. 
• Stress. Burn-out. And feeling overwhelmed.
• Loss of family time
• Loss of sleep
• Hustling out of work to get to the training facility or Zoom webinar
• Choking down fast during the first 30 minutes of class
• Worrying about their children at home
• Losing interest in the coursework
• A feeling of not learning anything
• Knowing you are ill-prepared to entire the field and work with clients

Before I tell you about how Educational Enhancement CASAC Online has a better alternative for you, I’d like to tell you about my journey into becoming an Advanced CASAC in NYS.

When I wrote Educational Enhancements Online CASAC home study program, I wrote it in a way that would benefit the students learning experiences. The program allows students to work independently without getting overwhelmed and stressed out. Because I felt I benefited from instructor-led virtual training, we decided to offer you this learning experience. We have added a new feature that allows our students to enhance their counseling strengths and skills. On Saturdays and Sundays, you will now have additional virtual instructor-led training in Sections 2 and 3. We feel doing this will allow you to

• understand the knowledge you have gained fully,
• get hands-on practice to strengthen counseling skills, and
• have direct access to an instructor to answer any questions you have.

Take advantage of these workshops they will only strengthen your clinical abilities.

We want you to have the best education and training experience. Our students enter the field with confidence and knowledge of the substance use counseling field.
