The evidence-based practice of integrated treatment--using one competent treatment team to address both disorders in the same program--is the most effective service strategy available for those with co-occurring disorders, and it has demonstrated consistent, positive outcomes. Unfortunately, there aren't enough counselors trained to provide this level of treatment for co-occurring disorders, and that problem has been exacerbated by the lack of easily accessible, quality education opportunities to bring practitioners up-to-speed with the latest advancements in practice.
A key supporter of Focus on Intergrated Treatment (FIT), International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) is offering up to 52.5 CE hours--or 1.5 hours per module--upon successful completion of the 35 FIT modules.

You can apply to your local certification board to have the hours earned at completion of this program, in combination with your clinical hours, to count toward the renewal of current IC&RC credentials or to achieve the CCDP or CCDPD credential. CE hours earned with FIT can be applied to the following credentials:
- Certified Co-occurring Disorders Professional (CCDP)
- Certified Co-occurring Disorders Professional Diplomat (CCDPD)
- Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ADC)
- Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC)
- Clinical Supervisor (CS)
For information on these credentials, visit http://internationalcredentialing.org.
