Why get certified?

The evidence is conclusive that addiction is highly correlated with criminal behavior and criminal involvement. Therefore, the adult and juvenile justice systems and providers of substance abuse treatment share a responsibility to assist drug-involved offenders in their recovery. It is this shared responsibility which led to the recognition for the need of a certification process for Criminal Justice Professionals who work with the substance abusing criminal offender.

There are certain knowledge areas and skills that are required to provide effective treatment and case management services to adult and juvenile drug involved offenders. Certified Criminal Justice Addiction Professionals (CEUMatrix’s) must demonstrate the ability to provide effective services including assessment, case planning, case management, linking with other treatment, human services and criminal justice providers, monitoring, counseling, and advocacy. In addition, CEUMatrix’s must be knowledgeable of the rehabilitative services provided by the treatment and criminal justice systems. Knowledge is required in such diverse areas as pharmacology treatment theories and modalities, involuntary commitment procedures, criminal case processing, court alternatives and conditions of probation, to name a few.

The overlap of roles and responsibilities has resulted in greater communication and interdependence among the courts, adult and juvenile justice professionals, and the alcohol and other drug abuse treatment professionals. Many corrections agencies routinely provide substance abuse treatment services. Case management of drug-involved offenders is provided by substance abuse treatment staff. The development of a credential for Certified Criminal Justice Addiction Professionals is designed to strengthen the supervision and rehabilitative potential provided by the two systems.

How do I purchase the Value Package?

• What is the Value Package offer? How does it differ from purchasing courses individually?
CEU Matrix is proud to offer a Value Package for $99 that is good for 10 course hours of your choosing. This savings applies to all courses. Of course, your exams, certificates of completion, and course evaluations are also included in the offer. Without this Value Package you may purchase any courses at the listed price. However, there is a significant savings with the Value Package – 10 hours of courses would normally be $130 for the internet version – with this offer you pay only $99 – a savings of $31! And there is no limit to the number of Value Packages you may purchase.

• How do I purchase the Value Package?
This package will provide 10 hours of continuing education credit.  After purchasing you will have $130 in credit in your account, because of the package deal you receive this for only $99.

No, the system will keep track of your credits.

What is a TIP?

Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs), developed by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), part of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), are best-practice guidelines for the treatment of substance use disorders. CSAT draws on the experience and knowledge of clinical, research, and administrative experts to produce the TIPs, which are distributed to facilities and individuals across the country. The audience for the TIPs is expanding beyond public and private treatment facilities to include practitioners in mental health, criminal justice, primary care, and other health care and social service settings.
