SACRAMENTO, California (October 3, 2011) - Serving a wide, culturally diverse area of Los Angeles County since it was founded in 2000, Crescent College offers a Breining Institute-accredited Chemical Dependency Counselor (CDC) program.
The CDC program provides the qualifying formal education for candidates seeking the State of California-approved and nationally-accredited Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS) Credential.

Testing for the RAS Credential is administered daily at over 170 exam centers throughout the United States, as well as in over 35 countries.

   
           
   

"Certification by Breining will recognize the superior level of competency that our graduates have achieved as addiction professionals."

"We are honored that our Chemical Dependency Counselor program received accreditation from Breining Institute," says Randy Doten, Vice President of Crescent College. "We strive to offer quality, affordable education to our community. Certification by Breining will recognize the superior level of competency that our graduates have achieved as addiction professionals."
 
 
         
 
         
   

"I think this is a great opportunity for Crescent students . . . to be involved in a rewarding, lifelong career."

The Breining accreditation of the Crescent program also serves as a pathway to higher education opportunities for Crescent graduates. The comprehensive CDC curriculum, which is also approved by the State of California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), is acceptable by Breining for matriculation (or transfer of college credit) into the Breining Associate and Bachelor Degree programs.

This recognition of the CDC program means that up to 33 quarter units of lower division credit will be transferable into the Breining Associate of Arts in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Studies or the Bachelor of Arts in Addictive Disorders degree programs.

 
         
 
 

 

   

Commenting on the availability of matriculation for graduates, Crescent instructor Anthony Thomas offered, "I think this is a great opportunity for Crescent students. Breining Institute is a widely recognized institution that has served the addiction counseling profession for many years, and I am pleased to work with a curriculum and certification process that will help our students become gainfully employed as competent addiction specialists, and to be involved in a rewarding, lifelong career."
