Bring Freedom through Healing to Individuals Trapped by Addiction

This school offers training on how to assist individuals dealing with addiction - if this a part of your next steps, consider taking the Addictive Behavior Counseling School! 

The ABC is designed for those who desire to be God’s vessel of hope to those who struggle with addiction. This school provides an opportunity for students to gain the skills and knowledge that will equip them to minister God’s healing, recovery, growth and transformation to the addicted.

PHASE TWO
 
Involves a 12 week practical experience as an integral part of the training. The emphasis is to teach about addiction, lead a process group, be able to start a support group, counsel individuals and families in addiction, aid people in applying biblical truths to their lives for greater maturity and a richer walk with God.

Right after the lecture is complete, you'll have the opportunity to use the new skills you've learned (CNH 321) through an applicable outreach. This can be with a team, or an internship with a rehabilitation program under supervision. Outreach will need to include most of the following: team teaching in churches, government or NGO rehabilitation programs, being active in a weekly process group, attending 12-step support groups where available, writing up a comprehensive assessment and a case study of a client, writing final reports and a personal treatment plan for the future. 

Outreach is typically  $2,500 plus airfare
