Addiction Studies and Counseling Certificate (ASCP-CC)
The Addiction Studies & Counseling Certificate (formerly Drug & Alcohol Recovery Counselor Certificate) is ideal for individuals who are already working in the field of the treatment of substance use disorders, desire a fast-track to certification, are receiving clinical supervision, and/or hold an advanced degree in a closely related field (e.g., social work, counseling, etc.) who would like to supplement their expertise. ASC certificate recipients with degrees and/or experience are prepared for opportunities as counselors for those with substance use disorders in public and private agencies such as community and residential health facilities, hospitals, prevention organizations, youth and family services, and the criminal justice system.
