| The Rhode Island Certification Process is designed to measure counselor competency . RIBCCDP recognizes that Chemical Dependency Counselors, Prevention Specialists, Student Assistance Counselors and Criminal Justice Professionals are necessarily educated in a wide range of disciplines, therapeutic approaches and counseling techniques. The Chemical Dependency profession is comprised of persons with diverse educational and experiential backgrounds. This certification system is designed to accommodate and evaluate those counselors who are experientially trained as well as those who are academically trained. It defines the core knowledge and skill bases needed by all counselors regardless of treatment setting or professional training and orientation. The RIBCCDP defines a baseline standard for all credentials offered. Counselors are given recognition for meeting specific predetermined criteria in substance abuse. Voluntary professional certification is not intended as a license to practice, nor as a qualification for a certain position. It may be accepted as a preferred or alternate credential by an employer, civil service system, state licensing body or third-party underwriter. This system provides the counselor with a tool for marketing his/her skills and competence. It defines the unique role of the Advanced Chemical Dependency Professional II, Advanced Chemical Dependency Professional, Chemical Dependency Clinical Supervisor, Prevention Specialist, Student Assistance Counselor, Co-Occurring Disorder Professional and Criminal Justice Professional as health and human service providers. The RIBCCDP has been a participating member in the International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) since 1988. The IC&RC sets international standards for counselor competency and develops and maintains written examinations for each reciprocal credential offered. |
