All CEUs is approved by NBCC, NAADAC, CAADAC and most other states to provide continuing education to counselors, nurses and addictions professionals.

All CEUs, in conjunction with Dr-Is-In steadily work to provide mental health counselors (LMHCs and LPCs), Nurses (LPNs and RNs) and social workers (LCSWs) in all states, including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina (NC) and Texas (TX) an affordable way to access current best practices and translate reasearch to practice. Each year SAMHSA puts tens of thousands of dollars into creating, publishing and disseminating the Treatment Improvement Protocols, yet few people are aware of them. The same holds true for the APA and the American Counseling Association. We want to make continuing education something you do, not because you have to, but because you want to.

When dealing with addictions, anxiety, depression and co-occurring disorders, it can be difficult for counselors and nurses to find effective, reliable information for professional development and to provide to their patients. According to CARF and JCAHO, treatment methods, programs and handouts must continually be monitored to ensure the health and safety of the persons served, ensure they incorporate input from the persons served and other stakeholders, support individual-centered/client-centered/person-centered planning, design, and delivery of services, and respect the rights of the persons served by leading to the provision of accessible, quality and appropriate services which maintain a high continuity of care. Additionally, implementation of any treatment protocols or policy changes need to be monitored through outcomes management and performance improvement through infrastructure management including training and professional development. The information may be helpful to mental health, addictions and rehabilitation counselors to use for continuing education, in-service training and creating patient information handouts.

With the myriad of information on the web about addictions, anxiety, depression and co-occurring disorders, it can be difficult for counselors and nurses to find effective, reliable information for professional development and to provide to their patients. Both of these activities are vital in agencies that are CARF or JCAHO accredited. Treatment methods, programs and handouts must continually be monitored to ensure the health and safety of the persons served, ensure they incorporate input from the persons served and other stakeholders, support individual-centered/client-centered/person-centered planning, design, and delivery of services, and respect the rights of the persons served by leading to the provision of accessible, quality and appropriate services which maintain a high continuity of care. Additionally, implementation of any treatment protocols or policy changes need to be monitored through outcomes management and performance improvement through infrastructure management including training and professional development. The following links are provided for mental health, addictions and rehabilitation counselors to use for professional development, getting CEUs and creating patient information handouts.
