Prevention Credentials include which designations?

• A. Associate Prevention Specialist Level I and Level II; Certified Prevention Specialist.
• B. Associate Addiction Counselor Level I and Level II.
• C. Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.
• D. Hearing Officer.

Answer: (A)

Prevention credentials validate expertise specifically in prevention work, with a progression from Associate Prevention Specialist Level I to Level II, culminating in the Certified Prevention Specialist. The Associate levels recognize foundational and intermediate prevention skills, while the Certified Prevention Specialist represents a higher standard of knowledge, ethics, and leadership in prevention practice. Other listed credentials pertain to treatment or unrelated roles (such as addiction counseling tracks or a Hearing Officer), not to prevention credentialing.
