Which two subjects must be covered for certification renewal?

• A. Ethics and Trauma Counseling
• B. Ethics and Clinical Supervision
• C. Trauma Counseling and Addiction Medicine
• D. Ethics and Pharmacology

Answer: (A)

Ethics and Trauma Counseling. The renewal usually requires ongoing ethics training to keep professionals up-to-date on confidentiality, boundaries, informed consent, and professional standards. Trauma-informed care is essential in addiction work because many clients have trauma histories, and being skilled in trauma counseling improves engagement, safety, and treatment outcomes. Other options include topics like clinical supervision or pharmacology, which are important in practice but not universally paired with ethics as the standard renewal requirement for most certifications.
