Georgia Addiction Counselors Association

About Us

Georgia Addiction Counselors Association (GACA), a non-profit professional association of over 650 members, is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of some of Georgia’s top addiction professionals. Let us help you develop your counseling skills. We want to help you develop professionally no matter where you are in your career path.

As you engage with GACA, you find many opportunities to give input, gain leadership experience, and build professional relationships. We invite you to join us at our events, meetings, and continuing education programs. We want your participation in legislative matters and professional advocacy. Your voice has the power to create change. Help us in our continued efforts to reduce the stigma surround addiction. Help us increase access to care for our clients. Support our goals of ensuring that all people seeking treatment and recovery in Georgia have the best counselors ready to help them change their lives for the better.

Currently, we are working on legislative matters surrounding the opioid crisis. Your generous support will help us have a stronger voice. Please contribute to this important work.

We are grateful to our Board of Directors, Certification Committee, Ethics Committee, and other working committees. Their hard work each year makes GACA Georgia’s premier certifying body for addiction counselors and the only professional membership association of addiction counselors in Georgia.

Most importantly, we thank our members, associates, and students. We could not do the work we do on behalf of our clients and families without your membership and continued support.
