• Continuing to advocate for the advancement of the professions of Substance Abuse Counseling, Substance Abuse Prevention, and Compulsive Gambling Counseling
• Providing high quality, current education and training for Addiction Professionals, including an annual Conference that is designed to present the most current information in the field of Addiction Counseling.
• Test preparation workshops, other workshops of interest to counselors, such as DSM 5 and Motivational Interviewing, and home study courses are provided throughout the year.
• Providing internationally recognized testing standards for the credentialing of Substance Abuse Counselors, Preventionists, and Compulsive Gambling Counselors;
• Establishing in April, 2006, of an Addiction Counselor Training Program through its Educational Institute to provide substance abuse specific training to persons entering the addiction counseling field.
