MISSOURI ADDICTION COUNSELORS ASSOCIATION

The Missouri Addiction Counselors Association is a not-for-profit Professional Organization for counselors living in or working in the state of Missouri. MACA was organized in 1971 as the Missouri Association of Alcohol Counselors to provide fellowship and support for persons professionally employed in Alcoholism Counseling. The role and mission of MACA expanded through the years to include persons providing professional counseling for alcohol, drug, and other addictive behaviors, thus necessitating a name change to the Missouri Association of Substance Abuse Counselors. 

In 1992, MASAC Membership and NAADAC (National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors) St. Louis Chapter agreed to combine and form one Professional Association in Missouri - MACA.

MACA is also the State Affiliate for NAADAC, The Association for Addiction Professionals.  Professional, Associate and Student Membership in MACA includes Membership in NAADAC.
