"It took one person to believe in me and have hope in me, and that was Rick. I went from group facilitator to case manager, to lead case manager, and within three years I was a program director. I passed my IC&RC exam on the first shot. No matter where you've been, it doesn't matter — what matters is where you're going. I went from being hopeless and helpless to full of hope."

"I've been in this field for almost a decade, and the ability to flexibly work on these courses with Rick guiding me every step of the way has been nothing short of a blessing. I learned a ton — even though I had worked in the field for nine years. I will 100% be sending people who need formal education to you guys moving forward."

"I just got done with the test and passed with flying colors — not even close. I was significantly passed. Just wanted to thank you. You've gone above and beyond, brother."

"It doesn't feel like a traditional online course. There's that interactive component of posting videos on Volley and even some of the tests having that back and forth. You get the convenience of working on your own time."

"When I took my IC&RC exam, I passed with flying colors on the first try. I would attribute a lot of my success to ADCSI. I highly recommend them. I highly recommend Rick."

"I'm so glad I started after procrastinating for so long because I was afraid. I was afraid of changing careers... So far, I love it. I have been learning new things and I'm applying them to myself first."

"He saw the best in me when I couldn't see it in myself. I am currently a substance use specialist on a multidisciplinary team linking people experiencing homelessness to housing. It's very fulfilling."

"I just completed the third module and so far I'm really enjoying and absorbing all the materials. I feel like they really lead into the next one after the next one. It all ties in together and the farther I go, the more it all makes a full circle. I really enjoy watching documentaries of health care workers in action and reading specific books about addiction."
