The path to recovery for people with compulsive behaviours such as substance abuse, video gaming, gambling, sex addictions, and eating disorders requires trained professional clinicians with theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

A faith-based approach

Recovering from life-controlling addictions requires an approach that encompasses all aspects of life: physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. This faith-based program sets a firm foundation for counsellors who wish to understand addiction recovery from a Christian perspective.

Emmanuel Bible College is currently the only faith-based institution to offer a professional certificate in addictions counselling certified by the Canadian Addictions Counsellors Certification Federation.

All students must complete nine courses, two Field Education placements and an Internship to receive the Emmanuel Bible professional certificate. Each semester, two courses are taught on one day of the week, while students are also completing their placements or Internship. This certificate can be completed in two years.
