FacebookLinkedInTwitter
The test-exemption deadline for the National Certificate in Tobacco Treatment Practice (NCTTP) has been extended to May 15, 2018.

NAADAC, in partnership with the Association for Treatment of Tobacco Use and Dependence, Inc. (ATTUD), and the Council for Tobacco Treatment Training Programs (CTTTP) offers the National Certificate in Tobacco Treatment Practice (NCTTP).

The NCTTP was created to standardize and unify tobacco competencies, knowledge, and skills on a national level and provides national, unified recognition of professionals who obtain this prestigious certificate. By obtaining the NCTTP, tobacco treatment professionals are demonstrating to employers, third-party payers, and clients their advanced education in evidence-based tobacco competencies, skills, and practice.

To apply for the certificate, candidates must provide evidence of specific education and experience, including successful completion of a CTTTP-accredited Tobacco Treatment Specialist training program and hours of tobacco treatment practice experience following completion of the training. In addition, candidates must be tobacco-free for a minimum of six months and must agree to adhere to the Tobacco Treatment Provider Code of Ethics. A full list of specific eligibility and application requirements can be found on the NCTTP web page.

The NCTTP test-exemption offer has been extended until May 15, 2018. Applications postmarked after May 15, 2018 will require successful completion of an examination to be awarded the certificate.

NAADAC is excited to announce that Marlene Maheu, PhD, will be presenting a keynote session entitled Behavioral Care at the Crossroads: Serving Clients/Patients with 21st Century Technologies and a pre-conference session entitled Telebehavioral Health Legal & Ethical Best Practices: Dos and Don'ts at the upcoming 2018 Annual Conference: Shoot For The Stars from October 5-9 in Houston, TX.

With the 21st century well underway, many addictions professionals are seeking answers to pivotal questions about using technology – from apps to augmented reality to robotics – in addictions treatment. In her keynote presentation, Dr. Maheu will discuss the role of technology in addictions care as well as the legal issues involved.

Telehealth is increasingly being relied upon to meet an ever-growing demand for addiction services. However, with this innovative, fast-moving technology comes with it a new set of ethical and legal issues. In her pre-conference presentation, Dr. Maheu will provide a practical overview of telebehavioral health laws and evidence-based techniques required by the NAADAC ethical code.
