Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies

A uniquely positioned graduate school on the campus of the largest and oldest substance abuse treatment center in the world. They are soon to be CACREP accredited. Stay tuned.

Head’s up about this graduate school: It is not CACREP accredited. If you plan to ever practice addiction’s counseling or get your licensure as a counselor in other states, you’re going to have a tough time. They will accept anyone to this school and they will make it sound easy to get your licensure/certification in other states but it is really difficult. I graduated from here and it took me 7 months to transfer to MI. Now I am trying to get licensed as a national counselor and it’s been a really hard process because of my graduate education. By 2022 no one will be allowed to get licensed as a national counselor without having gone to a CACREP accredited masters program.
