Opioid Addiction Counseling Competencies

Opioid Addiction Counseling Competencies consist of four (4) continuing education courses comprising discrete building blocks: understanding opioid addiction, knowledge of opioid addition treatment, application to practice, and professional readiness - reflective of principles chronicled in Technical Assistance Publication (TAP) Series 21: Addiction Counseling Competencies, emphasizing standards for substance abuse professionals.

TAP 21 has been widely distributed by SAMHSA’s National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI) and the ATTC Network. It has become a benchmark by which curricula are developed and educational programs and professional standards are measured for the field of substance abuse treatment in the United States.
