The demand gap is real: According to SAMHSA, only about 10% of people who need substance use disorder treatment actually receive it — and more than 1 in 3 Americans live in a behavioral health workforce shortage area. Trained SUD counselors are needed now more than ever.

Many job postings ask for CADC or SUDCC certification — but will seriously consider a RADT or SUDRC who is actively working toward certification. Apply with confidence. Your registration is proof you are on the path. Lead your cover letter with your enrollment status and expected certification date. Treatment programs often prefer to hire and develop their own counselors from the ground up.
