The Mead Academy provides courses in addiction counseling that meet the requirements for certification in drug and alcohol counseling, including the nationally-accredited and State of California-approved Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS) certification issued by Breining Institute.* Mead's next classes in its Alcohol and Other Drug Studies program start November 6, in San Diego, California.

Mead also offers a Clinical Supervisor course that is approved by Breining as qualifying course work for its Clinical Supervisor Credential (CSC) certification.** These three-day courses are offered at three California locations, and will begin January 26, 2011 in Colton, February 28 in San Diego, and March 15 in Fresno.

Faculty for the Mead Academy courses include Mary Hubbard, who is certified by Breining Institute as both a CSC and a Masters Level RAS (M-RAS) professional.

"We are always pleased to see exam applications from Mead Academy students, because the Academy has one of the highest passing rates in the country for students sitting for the RAS written examination," explained Kathy L. Christopher, Dean of Academic Affairs for Breining Institute. "We commend the Academy for the high level of education and training that it is providing these students, which is reflected in its superior examination pass rate." The most current statistics show that 80% of the Mead Academy graduates pass the exam the first time, and that they have an overall 93% pass rate, one of the best rates in the United States.
