The California Association of Alcohol and Drug Educators
At SouthCoast Recovery, we have over 100 years combined in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Our staff members are all members of CAADE. Staying current on new studies in drug and alcohol treatment is as important to your career as networking with other professionals in the field. Recovery professionals need support from others in the industry who understand the stress that often accompanies our field. Building a support network in the educational realm of the recovery community can help improve the quality of counseling from a personal and professional perspective.
SouthCoast Recovery is now accredited as a continuing education provider by CAADE, The California Association of Alcohol and Drug Educators. Recovery professionals work hard. They want the best for those they serve. This desire to make a difference and have a lasting impact can often be met with frustration. Questions arise, such as: why is it so difficult for people to do what they say they’re going to do with regard to their sobriety? Why don’t they stick with their program? How can I help late-stage recovery clients to expand their world to new possibilities? These and other questions prompted us to ask how can we make a difference.
We offer affordable, effective drug treatment on the cutting-edge. We blend clinical and holistic methods to renew mind, body and spirit while restoring relationships, goals and purpose. We treat the mind, body and spirit pairing the finest Western medicine available and Eastern holistic healing traditions within a 12-step methodology in drug treatment. This prepares our clients for long-term sobriety, allowing our program to excel where others fail.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is what sets SouthCoast Recovery Drug Treatment apart. Our clients work extensively with a clinical psychologist, marriage & family therapist, and drug and alcohol treatment counselors in one-on-one sessions as well as group modules. Based on an initial mental health evaluation, we develop and implement a personalized drug treatment plan specifically tailored to each individual’s needs and goals for long-term success.
What is CAADE?
CAADE works with the California State Department of Alcohol and Drug programs to develop guidelines for alcohol and drug studies within higher education. The goal is to set and maintain a higher standard of education for excellence in counseling.
CAADE offers certification for individuals interested in becoming a Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor (C.A.T.C.). Requirements for C.A.T.C. requires 36 hours of semester units at a CAADE accredited college, passing a comprehensive exam and continuing education in the field. These requirements ensure quality education for quality counselors in the field. For initial certification, please visit The California Association of Alcohol and Drug Educators.
Continuing Education Requirements
In order to maintain current certification, members are required to obtain 40 hours of continuing education every two years toward renewal of their certification. A minimum of 20 hours is required in advanced drug and alcohol abuse treatment and counseling. The remaining 20 hours may be in the area of professional advancement.
Why Coaching?
When you coach someone, you convey that you recognize that their life counts, that they still make a difference and have a life worth living. As a result, your interactions with them come alive with possibility and promise.
An even more potent approach is to marry potent coaching strategies with simple yet powerful spiritual principles. The Academy for Coaching Excellence has done just that. Our program is based upon principles from timeless wisdom traditions. The results are coaching tools that are powerful and that produce long-lasting results in all areas of a client’s life.
