CAADE ACCREDITED COLLEGES

CAADE approved Addiction Studies programs consist of a minimum of 36 semester credit units (or 600 clock hours). All of our programs are fully accredited and transferable to colleges, universities and graduate programs nationwide.  Students may attend any of our colleges full or part-time, depending on their individual needs and time constraints. CAADE college programs provide the opportunity to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes required to be effective in the treatment of alcohol and other drug dependency and abuse. Our programs are designed to provide students who have no prior experience in the field of Alcohol and Drug Counseling with a competency based educational program that meets certification standards in California in the most efficient, effective and inexpensive manner available today. Because all of our programs are fully accredited, financial aid is available for students who qualify.
