Presented by Registered NADA trainer and former NADA Vice President / Training Chair, Rachel Toomim, A.P.

The Didactic Portion is an on-site, two-weekend seminar on Acupuncture Treatment for Addiction and Behavioral Health. The hours of Didactic Training provided through this course will count toward the 70-hour NADA Certificate. This course is face-to-face. There is no option to receive the NADA Training online.

* Please note: In order to receive a NADA Certificate of Completion you must complete a 70-hour training, which includes the Didactic Portion as well as clinical experience at an approved NADA site. There are sites throughout the country and world-wide.

The NADA Trainer will assist you in finding possibilities for completing your clinical hours in order to receive your certificate. Due to variations in treatment funding, these sites, and/or their hours of operation are apt to change. NADA has no control over this situation. Funding is generally provided by government agencies.

Price includes:

• 1 year membership in NADA
• 1 year subscription to the bimonthly Guidepoints newsletter
• the newly revised NADA manual

 
Over one thousand addiction programs in the United States now use Acupuncture. NADA has trained over 5000 clinicians in the U.S. and worldwide. The NADA protocol can be safely and accurately implemented into any treatment milieu.
