What is the difference between casac and a casac-t?

CASAC (Certified American Substance Abuse Counselor) and CASAC-T (Certified American Substance Abuse Counselor-Trainee) are credentials related to substance abuse counseling. CASAC is a fully certified professional who has met all the necessary requirements and completed the requisite training and experience to provide counseling services. In contrast, CASAC-T is a trainee designation for individuals who are in the process of completing the necessary training and experience to achieve full certification. Essentially, CASAC-T indicates that the individual is still in training, while CASAC signifies full certification and readiness to practice independently.
