National Certified Recovery Specialist (NCRS)

Retired Emeritus Status

IAODAPCA has established a "Retired Emeritus Status" level to accommodate those National Certified Recovery Specialists who are retired from the work force, but wish to maintain some connection to IAODAPCA.

Eligibility for "Retired Emeritus Status" are:

  • certified and in good standing, i.e., current with fees
  • at least fifty-five (55) years of age
  • minimum of 10 years work experience
  • retiring with no intention of returning to any form of recovery employment.
  • Pay $10.00 biennial retired emeritus status fee
  • No continuing education units (CEUs) are required for this status

Procedure for obtaining "Retired Emeritus Status"

  1. Request "Retired Emeritus Status" in writing from IAODAPCA
  2. Include documentation for eligibility in your request
  3. Surrender your current original NCRS certificate to IAODAPCA. You will receive a letter from IAODAPCA acknowledging the certification number, and emeritus status
  4. Sign a waiver stating you will no longer be working in the field. You will be issued a separate "Retired Emeritus Status" Certificate
  5. Pay a biennial $10.00 fee

Procedure for reinstating a certificate from "Retired Emeritus Status"

Recovery specialists deciding to return to the recovery field work force must re-activate their certification. This requires completing the entire application process, examination, and paying appropriate fees.
