Combating the role of increased suicides and overdoses in declining life expectancy
Counselor Magazine
 Recent research establishes that after decades of increased longevity, Americans are dying earlier, all too often at the prime of life due to drug overdoses, suicide, and a spike in diseases such as cirrhosis, liver cancer, and obesity (Healy, 2019; Woolf & Schoomaker, 2019). This research suggests that the recent decrease in life span is “driven by diseases linked to social and economic privation, a health care system with glaring gaps and blind spots, and profound psychological distress” (Healy, 2019) among large segments of our population, making millions of Americans increasingly vulnerable to “deaths of despair.”

Designing one's own recovery
Counselor Magazine
 The parallel pandemics of COVID-19 and addiction have caused our nation (and the globe) to evaluate not just how we do things in our daily lives, but also to consider why we do them in the ways we always have. This rediscovery of the daily activities, chores, and pursuits we partake in includes those activities some have dedicated to the recovery parts of their lives. A momentous break in the way we conduct our usual recovery activities is also an opportunity for us — as individuals and as a greater society—to spend some quality time understanding the very concept of recovery.

Certified Professionals
IC&RC
IC&RC can facilitate reciprocity of an IC&RC recognized credential from one IC&RC Member Board to another. Reciprocity can greatly ease the transition of a credential from one IC&RC Member Board to another, however, varying licensure laws, rules and regulations and scopes of practice from one jurisdiction to another can complicate reciprocity.
