Addiction Recovery CEUs may be submitted to Professional Coaching boards for renewal in various categories.

Students receive a certificate of completion with designated CE/CEUs from NET Institute for each course after all requirements are met. CE/CEUs are determined by the course content such as ‘understanding addiction’; ethics; recovery management; recovery support/wellness; ‘application to practice’, etc. Students may submit copies of their certificates to addiction or mental health boards listed above when they are applying for initial certifications or re-certification or re-licensure. Students report acceptance by other boards not listed above, especially for re-certification or re-licensure.

Note: New levels of service and changes in the scope of practice in behavioral health boards do occur so students will need to research their own jurisdictions to see how to make best use of any CEUs for addiction or recovery credentials.
