Certified Addiction Counseling Training
Program: A Workforce Development Initiative
|
| Christians in Recovery from Substance Use is an
annual conference held each Spring in
downtown Atlanta. This conference brings together more than 250
Recovering substance users promoting both faith-based and 12-step approaches
to recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. We believe that
both approaches are effective for beginning the recovery process, reducing relapse, and sustaining long
term recovery. Please join us each year as
we celebrate God's healing power in the lives of many who have found
salvation from a life once considered hopeless and helpless.

| THE SAVED Team for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, and Substance Use Risk Reduction
(STARR) is a faith-based
initiative funded in October 2003 by CSAT, as a peer-led, pretreatment
program, design to link current substance users with treatment programs
as a method for reducing HIV and HCV infection and other substance
related disorders. Through this program, we offer free HIV rapid
testing (20 minute test) for metro-Atlanta substance users and their sex
and drug sharing partners. In addition, we provide HIV and
substance use prevention education to faith institutions, utilizing
spiritual principles. Presentations are approximately 1 1/5 hours long,
and are free, however, we do accept
donations that we use to help offset the cost associated with clients living
in our transitional housing program.

| Better Parents = Better Kids is a
joint education/mentoring program facilitated by RCA, Inc, Simpson Street Church of Christ and
Another Chance Recovery Program. This program provides weekly education
to parents of children enrolled in an after school program, located at
the church. The parents are offered a stipend as an incentive for attending
10 consecutive-weekly sessions aimed at educating them on drug addiction
and the benefits of recovery. The ultimate goal is to convince parents
in need of substance use treatment services to begin a program of abstinence
from drugs so that they can become "better parents," leading to "better
kids." |
