IC&RC Exams

All IC&RC professional examinations are based on current standards and practice of the profession. Approximately every 5-7 years it is necessary to update exams to conform to these current standards and practice. The IC&RC prevention exam is based on an RDS study that was completed in 1999 and is now 7 years old.
IC&RC is in the process of updating the prevention exam to reflect current prevention practice. We anticipate a new study guide to be available by September 2006 (to be produced by Distance Learning Center) and a new exam used at March 2007 cycle. Candidates may wish to postpone their test until the new exam and study materials are available.


Lost and Trying to Find

The Foundation (FABHP) will be adding a new feature in its mission of supporting professionals in the addictions field. The new feature will be a list of professionals we are trying to contact. It is important for us to keep in contact, with news, current and special notices and other information that can help with the advancement of the field. We will also be trying to contact those professionals who have moved and have not forwarded a new mailing address. We would hope that all of you will take a quick look at this list and let your colleagues know that we are trying to contact them. In some cases, we have certificates that have been returned and we would like to get them into the proper hands.


Recovery Walk '06

The Walk is a celebration of recovery for those in recovery, their family members, friends and other allies, as well as a symbol of hope for the thousands upon thousands still in the throes of addiction, so that they and their families and friends can have hope and see that recovery is not only possible, but a reality for many whose lives at one time were hopeless and full of despair.
