Skill Enhancement for Addiction Professionals

Louisiana Association of Substance Abuse Counselors & Trainers (LASACT) is an Approved Educational Provider (AEP) through the Addictive Disorder Regulatory Authority (ADRA). Our team is dedicated to helping addiction professionals in Louisiana develop their skills in their careers.

Effective Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery of Substance Use Disorders

  • Informative Workshops

    Our team provides educational workshops on various topics. These include prevention and counseling of substance abuse, compulsive gambling, professional ethics, and clinical supervision.

  • Comprehensive Counselor Training Program

    We operate the Louisiana Addiction Counselor Training (LACT). This program provides the 180 education hours that are specific to substance abuse education, a requirement for applying to be a Counselor in Training (CIT) through the ADRA.

  • Annual Conference

    LASACT sponsors an annual event with the purpose of providing multi-track continuing education opportunities by nationally and internationally known speakers as well as in-state experts.

Advocating for Addiction Professionals

One of our goals as an organization is to ensure that certification/licensure candidates meet all requirements and are competent to serve the public. With this in mind, we work with the ADRA to ensure appropriate standards and valid and reliable  testing instruments are utilized in the addiction professional field.

Our team also promotes appropriate proposed legislation that impacts the fields of addiction and professionals not just in Louisiana but also nationally.
