Drug Talk & PMorais & Associates
This agency specializes in addiction resources and has a number of excellent addiction counselling courses available. These courses cover the basics of addictions counselling as well as material that is both advanced and unique. Because of the difficulty of engaging with clients with addiction issues, the emphasis is on providing counsellors with powerful insights and a way to talk about addiction that their clients will readily understand. In doing so clients will gain an understanding that recovery is much more than just quitting their addiction and going to a treatment program for a few weeks. They will gain the insights they need to take their recovery far beyond mere abstinence into genuine growth and healing.
ACCT members receive a 10% discount on all counselling courses. There are currently 12 courses to choose from and more are added on a regular basis.
