Addiction counselor training in Nevada

6 addiction counseling programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

3 schools offer these addiction counseling programs, and Nevada has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 4 of these 6 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

Substance abuse counselors advise people on alcoholism, addiction and related problems. Many have a bachelor's degree, but some positions ask only for a high school diploma and others for a master's, and the license rules outside private practice vary by state.1

In Nevada, 2 of the 6 programs take students without a high school diploma, 3 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.

By kind, the 6 programs here are addiction counselor certificate (4 programs) and peer recovery or recovery coach course (2 programs).

Where the Nevada addiction counseling program numbers come from

Which Nevada addiction counseling programs are on this list?

These are the addiction counseling programs Nevada approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Nevada offers.

How the prices and results of Nevada addiction counseling programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Nevada figures?

We leave out the share working 6 months later for Nevada: its rates sit far below every other state's, and the counts suggest jobs were traced only for students whose training was publicly paid.
