Your CADC, Made Simple.

Students enrolled at a participating Accredited Training Program (ATP) receive wraparound services towards acquiring their CADC credential, including scholarships, internship stipends and more!

To be eligible for the program, you must be enrolled in a participating ATP (see the 10 schools listed on this page), pursue a CADC credential, and agree to a 2-year employment period within an Illinois DBHR-licensed/DBHR-funded prevention, treatment, harm-reduction, or recovery organization after certification. You will be required to sign an affidavit in agreement to these terms.

Please see below for a list of services available through this program, while funds last and identified as available for you by your school.
