Hello!
As the year comes to a close, the CADTP team would like to extend our warmest wishes for a happy holiday season.
We want to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication in helping those affected by substance use disorders. Your efforts have been invaluable in providing support to your clients and their families. You have gone above and beyond to provide assistance to those in need and to promote better understanding of the issues associated with SUD.
As we look to the future, we are excited and ready to continue our mission of providing the best services possible to all counselors who care for those affected by substance use disorders. We thank you for being part of our organization and we wish you all the best during this holiday season!

As We Celebrate the Holidays, Remember what you do, Really Matters |
|
On New Years Eve 2021, 13 people died in DUI/DUID crashes on California roadways, a number 4 times higher than 2020. As we enter the holiday season, there are 1,159 California families with an empty seat at the table as the result of the actions of an impaired driver. Ironically, the days around a major holiday, when many impaired drivers hit the road, such as Thanksgiving (and Black Friday) as well as New Years, are considered particularly dangerous.

Comparing SUD Counselor Training Requirements Across All States |
DPH-SAPC analyzed the SUD counselor training requirements in all 50 States to get a sense of how CA’s SUD counselor training requirements compares with states across the US in order to inform efforts to shape State policy and approaches to address the needs of this essential workforce.
Key takeaways:
-
Aside from 3 states where the minimum requirement is essentially a high school diploma or GED (Maine, South Dakota, & Washington), CA's 9.5 hour minimum for registered SUD counselors is the lowest across the country.
-
50% (25) of states do not even offer a registered SUD counselor category, meaning that their lowest level of SUD counselor is certified, which typically require at least 300 hours of training, plus clinical practicum hours.
-
60% (30) of states offer a licensed SUD counselor category. This is another area where CA is behind in terms of the SUD workforce.
