Tennessee
This category is designed for addiction counselors in Tennessee who are required to meet their state board's standards while advancing their specialization and ethical knowledge. The trainings provide a six-step ethical decision-making model that directly addresses the hierarchy between the NAADAC Code of Ethics and the mandatory Tennessee Board Rules. In addition to advanced ethics and compliance (e.g., 42 CFR Part 2), the category includes specialized training in assessing and treating Compulsive Gambling Disorder, the only non-substance addictive disorder in the DSM-5, a critical competency for the Tennessee service array.
