CCDP – CERTIFIED CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS<br />

PROFESSIONAL<br />

The <strong>Co</strong>nnecticut Certification Board defines a CCDP - <strong>Certified</strong> <strong>Co</strong>-<strong>Occurring</strong> <strong>Disorders</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> as a<br />

person who, by virtue of special knowledge, training, and experience, is uniquely able to inform, motivate,<br />

guide, and assist persons with co-occurring addictive and mental health disorders and the unique problems<br />

related to these disorders. For the purpose of certification, a <strong>Certified</strong> <strong>Co</strong>-<strong>Occurring</strong> <strong>Disorders</strong> <strong>Professional</strong><br />

is defined as a clinician who has demonstrated competence in performing a range of clinical activities and<br />

interventions as defined in the Job Task Analysis for <strong>Co</strong>-<strong>Occurring</strong> <strong>Disorders</strong> (2008) by the IC&RC -<br />

International Certification & Reciprocity <strong>Co</strong>nsortium (www.internationalcredentialing.org). In order to<br />

become certified as a CCDP a candidate must demonstrate they have completed appropriate education,<br />

training, and supervised experience relevant to the treatment of co-occurring disorders. A qualified clinician<br />

is considered to be performing as a co-occurring disorders counselor when:<br />

a. the clinician has primary responsibility for providing individual and group counseling interventions<br />

specifically related to co-occurring disorders<br />

b. the co-occurring specific interventions are identified on a written recovery/treatment plan<br />

prepared and reviewed by the clinician in collaboration with the person receiving services<br />

c. the interventions are directed toward promoting recovery from co-occurring disorders<br />

Although a substantial portion of the clinician's work experience must be in the counseling domain, work<br />

experience must involve experience with all of the performance domains in order to be considered<br />

appropriate to meet the certification work requirement. Additionally, it is recommended that all functions<br />

must be conducted under appropriate clinical supervision CCDP-D, CCS or NCCS. In all activities, the<br />

clinician must demonstrate consistent adherence to the CCB <strong>Co</strong>de of Ethical <strong>Co</strong>nduct (2012) & CCB <strong>Co</strong>de<br />

of Ethical <strong>Co</strong>nduct – Disciplinary Procedures (2012) and agree to continue their professional development<br />

with ongoing education, training and clinical supervision.<br />
