CCAPP invites you to become a

Certified Criminal Justice Addiction Professional (CCJP)

Addiction counseling with individuals in the criminal justice system is complex and complicated, and it requires specialized training. Substance abuse or mental health training alone doesn’t really prepare professionals for dealing with the interaction of addictive and criminal thinking. In addition to addiction counseling skills and theoretical understanding, Criminal Justice Addictions Professionals (CCJP) need an understanding of the criminal justice system and criminal thought patterns. Set yourself apart with CCAPP's Certified Criminal Justice Professional certification.

Requirements for applying for the CCJP Credential:

“I needed something to jump start my career and to lead me in new directions; exploring criminal justice careers while earning my CCJP certification with CCAPP was exactly what I needed. It’s great to know that CCAPP will stand behind me as my career horizons widen - CCAPP means quality wherever you find it!”
