Abstract
This paper is written primarily to the front line workers in the field of drug abuse—the counselors, the aides, the nurses, the directors, the intake workers and all others who work directly with substance abusing clients. You are the people who are primarily responsible for the treatment and rehabilitation of substance abusers and as such will be the people most directly affected by a credentialing process. In many cases you also seem to be the people who have the least amount of information regarding credentialing and how it can help or hinder your career in the field of substance abuse.
