CERTIFICATIONS IN THE ALCOHOL AND DRUG COUNSELING FIELD (TEXAS)

Starting the Certification Process in Texas

Christian Institute (CI) is approved by TCBAC (Texas Certification Board), a division of the Texas Association of Addiction Professionals. The Texas Certification Board is approved by the IC&RC to certify candidates as certified counselors to work in the field of drug and alcohol counseling. 

Because Christian Institute is approved with TCBAC, this means that you don’t have to worry if the courses you take will count towards your certification. Christian Institute offers the required courses needed for the Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

Christian Institute is also an NAADAC (National Association of Alcoholism Counselors and Drug Abuse Counselors) Approved Education Provider.

Texas Certification Board Certifications

​Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor - (AADC)

Statement of Purpose
The Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor credential upgrades and standardizes qualifications of those working in the field of addiction counseling. The following AADC credentialing guidelines have been developed by the Texas Certification Board (TCB). The AADC credential will separate those counselors who are content with a status quo existence from those who continue to achieve a higher level of excellence within the addiction profession. A counselor’s “level of expertise” can now be clearly defined.
