File Complaint

For questions regarding certification criteria, rejection of certification, supervision requests, and ethics violations, contact the Certification Board Chairperson.

The Mississippi Association of Addiction Professionals (MAAP) has instituted a policy on complaints, grievances and suggestions aimed at providing the best possible services to its Membership and to the public.

As a matter of policy, all ethics complaints follow the same procedure:

·  Complainant submits complaint in writing stating complaint and outlining which Code(s) are alleged to have been violated. All complaints must be addressed to the chairman of the Certification Board, signed by the complainant, and include the complainant’s home address.  Note that anonymous complaints will not be acted upon.

·  All complaints received by the Mississippi Association of Addiction Professionals are forwarded to the chairman of the Certification Board who will review the complaint to make a determination if an Ethics Committee will be formed to review the complaint, if further investigation is warranted, or if no appropriate action can be taken at this time.

·  Notice will be sent to the complainant of the decision of the chair and further instructions outlining the procedure for investigation or instructions for appeal.

·  Should the complaint proceed, a letter will be sent to the respondent with information regarding the complaint and instructions to respond to the complaint within 30 days from the postmark date of the letter.
