The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recognizes graduates of CACREP accredited programs as mental health specialists with the Veterans Health Administration. The Department of Defense will require a CACREP accredited degree to obtain the TRICARE certified mental health counselor credential after December 31, 2016, and only licensed professional counselors with a CACREP accredited degree may be employed by the Army Substance Abuse program. Lastly, the high level of training standards for CACREP accredited programs help graduates score significantly higher on the National Counselor Examine (NCE) annually (retrieved from www.cacrep.org ) as compared to graduates from non-accredited programs.
