TechnoratiAddiction Studies
Molloy College, Division of Continuing Education and Professional Development, Center for Addiction Studies offers a comprehensive collection of courses to assist the individual student to document the appropriate clock hours of education for the NYS CASAC exam.
New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (NYS-OASAS) has created a credential called a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC), for those individuals who wish to work with the addicted population.
The following requirements must be met prior to applying for the NYS CASAC exam: There is a minimum of 350 clock hours of education. Four categories of knowledge are required.
- Section I: Knowledge of Alcohol and Substance Abuse (85 clock hours)
- Section II: Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counseling (150 clock hours)
- Section III: Assessment, Clinical Evaluation, Treatment Planning, Case Management and Patient Family and Community Education (70 clock hours)
- Section IV: Professional and Ethical Responsibility and Documentation (45 clock hours)
Certificate: A certificate will be awarded upon satisfactory completion of each course.
Our courses are listed under the four sections as outlined by NYS-OASAS; however, final determination as to the appropriate categorization of these courses under each section will be made by NYS-OASAS.
Recredentialling Requirements: Those students who are already CASAC's and must renew their credential with NYS-OASAS must document 40 clock hours of education and training related to alcoholism and substance abuse. Renewal of your CASAC credential is done every three years. All courses listed under Section I - Section IV may be used for recredentialling purposes.
Accreditation: New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, Bureau of Credentialling, Provider Number ED0021. For clarification of exam requirements, categorization of courses, recredentialling requirements, exam schedules and/or to request an application for the CASAC exam please contact the OASAS Credentialing Unit at 1.800.482.9564 or visit them on the web at: www.oasas.ny.gov.
