About The Conference

The Premier School for Addiction Professionals in the Southeastern United States

The Board of Directors and staff of NCFADS are pleased to offer the 2025 Summer School in a completely in-person format.

Participants will be able to earn up to 30 hours, dependent upon their registration option and sessions attended. 

The sessions will include many of the required types of content for credentialing, such as HIV, ethics, clinical supervision, and several subspecialty credits that NCASPPB requires. We will offer our usual types of professional credits as well.

The 2025 NCFADS Summer School begins on Monday, July 21st at 9:00 a.m., and concludes Friday, July 25th at 12:45 p.m. Each session must be attended in its entirety to receive credit, as a survey link will be posted during each session for attendance confirmation.

The Foundation Board and Staff thank you for your interest in the NCFADS Schools. If you have any additional questions, please contact our Interim Executive Director, Virginia Johnson, at ExecutiveDirector@ncfads.org
