The Georgia
Addiction Counselors Association (GACA) is a non-profit association dedicated
to high standards for professionals who provide addiction
counseling. Established in 1980 to provide a statewide association of
addiction counselors and other persons interested in addiction, GACA is
comprised of a volunteer Board of Directors elected by its membership and a
volunteer Certification Board appointed by the Directors with the sole purpose
of carrying out the mission of the Association. Our express concern was, and
remains, the welfare of persons who are chemically dependent or abusing
mood-altering chemicals in the state of Georgia.
Our Board of
Directors consists of members who volunteer their time and expertise with the
sole purpose of carrying out the mission of the Association. We highly encourage
you to participate in setting the direction of GACA's future by attending
meetings, submitting recommendations and voicing the needs of addiction
counselors in your region of the state. All GACA Board of Directors meetings are
open to the public.
