Together, we are "Bringing all the Pieces Together" to help enhance the quality of life for those directly or indirectly affected by alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse. MAAP’s mission is three-fold: “To provide education, training and certifi-cation to professionals in the field of chemical dependency.” In order to effec-tively carry out its mission, MAAP depends on the generosity of its volunteer members to serve on the Board of Directors of the association, Certification Board and various standing committees.
Certification for addiction professionals is designed to accommodate and evalu-ate those who are experientially trained as well as those who are academically trained. The certification process defines the core knowledge and skill base needed by all professionals regardless of their professional training, orientation or occupation. The certification process sets a baseline standard for profes-sionals providing services to individuals with alcohol and drug abuse prob-lems. Such professionals are given recognition for meeting specific predeter-mined criteria. The purpose is to assure that quality treatment services are available to individuals with substance abuse problems. Certification provides a professional credential that can assist employers in selecting competent staff to work with this population.
Begin by looking over the Credentialing pages on our website. Which type and level of certification are you most interested in pursuing? Once that is deter-mined, do you meet, or are you close to meeting, the qualifications to submit an application packet and portfolio to the Certification Board? If so, download and print the Certification Manual, Application Packet & Portfolio for the credential you are seeking. If not, consult with your supervisor (s) for assistance in obtain-ing the appropriate certification for your career goals. You may need to further your education or obtain additional work experience to meet the guide-lines. Whatever it takes, don't give up!
