Continuing Education

ethics.

Board approved continuing education must:

▪ Enhance the addiction counselor’s professional development and competence

Board approved continuing education can include workshops, refresher courses, in-service training at addiction facilities, professional conferences, seminars, and education programs presented by organizations such as NAADAC, or educational, and national or state health organizations. For more information, review a complete list of Guidelines for Continuing Education.
