Stay Motivated & Inspired to Continuously Work Towards Your Future.
With your help, we can build stronger communities by empowering those seeking recovery. Take a moment to review our training programs and to learn how NORA can train you to become a leader on the road to well-being.

Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant Training (CDCA)

The Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA) certification was developed by the Ohio Chemical Dependency board to assist individuals in becoming credentialed to work in the addictions field. The CDCA certification is the first step in becoming a certified chemical dependency counselor and it requires 40 hours of chemical dependency specific education.

Building Communities of Recovery & Resiliency (BCORR)

This curriculum provides the tools new board members will need to educate legislative bodies, sponsors, and influential individuals about the need for expanded treatment, recovery, and support services. It also provides guidance and activities to help you build communication, fundraising, and professional skills specific to your role as a board member.

Substance Abuse Prevention Programs & Services

Drug prevention programs are an incredibly important part of drug treatment.
The best possible treatment for drug addiction is to prevent it altogether. NORA is involved in a number of community programs working to prevent substance abuse through a number of evidence-based approaches. Let’s talk about what works, what doesn’t, and where the all-important drug prevention step goes from here.
