Addictions CEU follow up

I received a number of great suggestions for APA approved continuing education in addictions (please see below).  I have done my best to verify their approval status, but, of course, this can change so it makes sense to verify this for yourself if you want to pursue any of the options.  It seems clear to me that there is a general recognition that there are limited options for APA approved addictions continuing education and that Division 50 is working to increase these options.  I am grateful for this.

Best regards,

Dan
