This comprehensive, six-module course is specifically designed to meet the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (BSRB) continuing education requirements for Licensed Master Addiction Counselors (LMACs) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselors (LCACs).

This course moves beyond basic theory to practical application, covering the implementation of Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), differential diagnosis of complex co-occurring disorders, and the creation of rigorous, evidence-based treatment plans. Participants will explore the specific scopes of practice for Kansas licensees, ensuring ethical compliance while utilizing integrated models to treat the whole person. Grounded in cultural humility and trauma-informed care, this training equips counselors to navigate the bidirectional relationship between mental illness and addiction.
