Protecting the public through competency-based credentialing, training and promoting ethical practice by SUD professionals.

Our logo and mission

While seeking a fresh and modern look for our organization, we recognize that the small acorn , which is displayed hanging from the first "C" in the logo, has the ability to develop into the mighty oak tree (which is also symbolic of our state), reminding us of the immense potential in all of us. The acorn’s long journey to becoming the oak teaches us patience, nurturing, and resilience. It serves as an inspiration, encouraging us to persevere, to develop our strengths, to be resilient in difficult times and to realize our potential. Ancient Celtic and Nordic cultures recognized the symbolic nature of this small nut, and many Native American tribes used the acorn for food during common famine months. We now celebrate it as a symbol of our organization.
The development of the mission statement brought us back to our roots: to protect those who receive services, their support systems and the community at large. When you are certified by the CCB, you hold the ONLY substance use disorder specific credential that is proven to be reliable, valid, and legally defensible, while joining over 50,000 professionals across the globe.
