Universal Treatment Curriculum (UTC) Self Led Courses

These trainings will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the nature of change and an understanding of the process and elements of treatment and prevention for substance use disorders (SUDs).

The overall goal of the training series is to reduce the significant health, social, and economic problems associated with SUDs by building international treatment capacity through training, professionalizing, and expanding the global treatment and prevention workforce. These trainings prepare counselors for professional certification at the entry level by providing the latest information about SUDs and their treatment and facilitating hands-on activities to develop skills, confidence, and competence.

Every participant has a choice regarding certification. If you wish to apply for CE credits, there will be a series of assessment questions at the end of each module and you must score at least 80% to receive the certificate. It is also possible to complete the course without certification or CE credits.

Congratulations for taking the time to learn more about your work!
