Mission Statement

The Arkansas Substance Abuse Certification Board (ASACB) was incorporated in September 1986 to adopt standards for qualifying, evaluating, and certifying individuals as Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) Counselors.  In early 1992, the ASACB affiliated with the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC), an organization with standardized minimum competency requirements for international testing and certification.  The ASACB monitors counselors' continuing education and professional development to ensure that Arkansas clients receive quality care from competent addiction professionals.

Sponsoring Organizations

  • The Arkansas Department of Human Services, Division of Behavioral Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention
