The 2024 program year will award up to 40 master’s-level fellowships for addiction counseling students in the amount of $15,000 each. Awardees are also paired with a mentor in the field and receive additional professional development resources, including travel to the NAADAC Annual Conference.

AAAP Statement of Support for the LGBTQ+ Community and Selected Resources
Membership in both NAADAC and your state affiliate ensures that you are represented at both the national and state level.
NAADAC is committed to advocating for the best interests of its members, clients, communities and the profession overall. Without the dedicated advocates who stand up for the profession, our members will not have a voice.
The NAADAC/NCC AP Code of Ethics, the most recent version of which is effective January 1, 2021, was updated to meet the needs of current addictions practice.
The purpose of credentialing is to standardize the quality of addiction prevention, intervention, treatment and continuing care services.
