CCA enhances addictions treatment programs with accreditation
By Business Wire
Published: 06/20/2005

Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the nation's largest provider of corrections management services to the government, has been approved for organizational membership in the National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (now known as NAADAC, the Association for Addictions Professionals). NAADAC is the leading professional membership organization for counselors, educators, and other health professionals who specialize in addiction prevention and treatment and the largest credentialing organization in the addictions treatment field. CCA is the first and only correctional company, including both privately and publicly-operated corrections systems, to apply for and receive NAADAC's Education Provider status.
CCA submitted extensive supplementary program proposals including sample lesson plans, curricula, and evaluation tools as part of the specific and rigorous approval process to earn certification as a Continuing Education Training Provider through NAADAC. Through its membership with NAADAC, CCA will gain accreditation capabilities for counselor certification, additional curriculum support, and access to first-rate research-based training and treatment materials. CCA counselors will be able to expand their careers and raise their level of professionalism through in-house additional education, clinical training, nationally-recognized credentials, and certification programs which meet or exceed NAADAC standards.
