In 2009, IC&RC released a white paper on the necessity for prevention credentialing. Over the last year, the organization's Credentialing Services Committee has prepared white papers for three other credentials:

• "Assuring Public Safety in the Delivery of Substance Abuse Treatment Services: An IC&RC Position Paper on Alcohol & Drug Counselor (ADC) Credentialing" (April 2012)
• "Assuring Public Safety in the Delivery of Substance Abuse Services: An IC&RC Position Paper on the Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC) Credential" (April 2012)
• "Assuring Public Safety in the Delivery of Clinical Supervision of Substance Use Disorder Services" (March 2012)

These documents can be used to educate legislators, treatment providers, educational programs, and others about the importance of credentialing.
