  The Addiction Professional: Manual for Counselor Competency (Second Edition) includes an examination and study of the skills, knowledge and tasks of a competent addiction counselor, including the TAP 21 Counselor Competencies and the Twelve Core Functions, and was developed (and has been continually updated since 1986) to assist the student in becoming an effective addiction counselor.

The Addiction Professional is also the basis for all questions asked on the multiple-choice exam for the nationally-accredited Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS) credential: If it is not in the Manual, it will not be on the exam.

With the academic contributions of faculty, practitioners and graduate students, the First Edition of the Manual, published in 2005, was an expansion upon the six-workbook series - the Chemical Dependency and other Addictive Disorders study guide - developed in 1986 for students in Breining's addiction certification program. This Second Edition has updated and expanded on the information included in the 2005 edition of the Manual.

The Manual has, until now, only been available to Breining Institute college students and candidates for the nationally-accredited Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS) certification. We are now making it available to treatment professionals, employers, and educators in order to accommodate the many requests that we have received to do so.

This Manual is not intended for sale to or use by the general public, as it includes concepts and information that requires a professional addiction counselor or addiction studies student to properly interpret and utilize.

We hope that you find this publication useful.

In order to get the most out of this publication, you may also wish to use the FREE on-line tutorial that walks the student through the Manual, and helps RAS candidates prepare for the certification exam. Select the button below:
