Addiction professionals certified by Breining Institute -

professional every time that the credentials are renewed
(every two years). The respective Codes of Ethics are

Filing
a complaint |
|
|
|
|
You should
file a complaint about a
professional who has been certified by Breining
Institute if you believe that the
professional acted improperly, but not just because
there is some disagreement between you, or you believe he or
she did a poor job.
If you believe that a Breining
Institute-credentialed individual breached
his/her respective Code of Ethics,
you must file
the complaint using the
form available at the link below.
When you make your complaint, you
should supply photocopies of any documents that relate to
the asserted problem.
A complaint against a registered or
certified individual is taken very seriously, and the
complainant must certify - under penalty of perjury and
potential civil and criminal liability - that the statements
made in the complaint are true.
Anonymous and/or undocumented complaints will not be
recognized.
