Addictions Counselor Training Available Statewide Beginning January 2009

Responding to numerous requests to make the Fort Myers-based Florida Addictions Institute Certificate Program in addictions counseling available to people across the state, FAI will offer the program in a weekend format in Palm Beach beginning January 2009.



The Florida Addictions Institute's twelve month 350-hour Certificate Program provides all the substance abuse education requirements to be eligible to become credentialed by the Florida Certification Board as a Certified Addictions Professional (CAP), Certified Addictions Counselor (CAC), or Certified Addictions Specialist (CAS). For more information, call the FAI Team at 239 573 0311, visit our website at www.FlAddictionsInstitute.org, or email to ExecutiveDirector@FlAddictionsInstitute.org.



The Florida Addictions Institute is unique because it provides:

  • Coordinated and comprehensive coursework providing both in-depth understanding of the nature of addiction and hands-on counseling skills.
  • Adult-learner model which allows completion without disrupting current employment.
  • Enriching one-on-one interactions in a classroom setting with instructors who are addictions treatment professionals and experts in their fields.
  • Career guidance to showcase FAI graduates' strengths: Outstanding resumes, cover letters, networking and interviews, plus employer contact information and career websites.
  • Test preparation course prior to taking the Florida Certification Board exam (optional).
