WSACES emphasizes the need for quality education and supervision of counselors in all work settings. Effective addiction counseling requires specialized knowledge and skills, as individuals facing substance use disorders need tailored support. NAMA Recovery plays a crucial role in advocating for proper training in this area, ensuring that counselors are equipped to address the complexities of addiction treatment. Methadone, a key medication in opioid addiction therapy, often requires counselors to have a deep understanding of its role in recovery. By prioritizing education and supervision, WSACES supports the development of professionals who can provide comprehensive care to those in need.
