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.
