A pill packet complete with a cellular "Black Box" will soon be used in Central Florida pharmacies to track when and where you take your prescription pills.  The device is called Divert-X and it has caught the attention of investors in California and Florida.  “Instead of a bottle with stickers we’re building a system that’s assembled at the pharmacy by the pharmacist with the medications that they have in stock” says Jim Harris, PHD, developer of the Divert-X system.

Addiction Recovery & Intimate Violence 

Self-paced Online Course

About the Course

This 5-hour self-paced course is based on industry awareness that Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a frequent issue for clients. Addiction counselors and peer-recovery specialists understand that Intimate Partner Violence ATTCimpairs the opportunity for recovery (Illinois Department of Human Services, 2005; SAMHSA, 1997). However, they are often less familiar with a systematic and easily integrated method for dealing with such issues. The ARIV model (and this course) was created to fill that need.

FREE Online Course

The ATTC Network is committed to keeping our educational offerings affordable. Each self-paced course is available for FREE. Participants will earn a certificate of completion after successfully finishing the course. If you need to earn continuing education units/clock hours, this course offers 5.00 units/hours for $25.00 (a rate of $5 per unit/hour).

Certification Entities

  • National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC) units
  • National Board for Certified Counselors and Affiliates, Inc. (NBCC) clock hours
  • Coming soon....National Association of Social Workers (NASW)
