Courses

The MACT Program offers a series of four “Core Courses” that provide students a comprehensive survey of information essential for developing basic addictions counseling skills.

Class sessions meet Fridays and Saturdays on a monthly basis for twelve (12) months. Classes meet from 8:00 a.m.—5:00 p.m. on Fridays, and 8:00 a.m.—5:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Students may begin the class sessions in March, June, September, or December, and are encouraged to enroll for the full year’s training in order to fully benefit from the course work.
