Question by Cancerbeater: How To obtain a “CSAC”.Certified Substance Abuse Counselor” accreditation?
I am wanting to get my certification to work in the “Substance Abuse” field. I am slowing dying from having had throat cancr and I also have Lung Disease to go with it.
This is more important to me than life. I Need help !!
I live in Atlanta and will go home to Roanoke, Va to work when completed. It use to be in some states, if you could pass the test, you got your accreditation. That easy !! But where and how do I start now, being on a limited time schedule ????

Answer by allen e
In most states it is required that you can show that you have the experience working under another CSAC before you are allowed to sit for the test. The average is about 2 years as a helper under supervision and a bit of classroom learning as well, CEU’s showing that you have had exposure to the various aspects of the job here in my state it is 149 CEU’s on the various parts and an additional 9 on ethics.
