You should register a complaint about an RAS with Breining Institute if you believe that a currently certified RAS acted improperly, but not just because there is some disagreement between you, or you believe he or she did a poor job.

All RAS professionals must adhere to the RAS Code of Ethics, a copy of which you may review by selecting this link. Depending upon the seriousness of a demonstrated breach of this Code, the RAS may be temporarily or permanently suspended from certification.

If you believe that an RAS breached the RAS Code of Ethics, you should register a complaint on the form provided at this link. When you register your complaint, you should supply photocopies of any documents that relate to the asserted problem.

Complaints registered against RAS practitioners subject to California law will be investigated in accord with, and referred to the State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP) as provided in, the California Code of Regulations, Title 9, Chapter 8, sections 13000, et seq.

A complaint against an RAS 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.
