An ICAP shows the individual has been trained in the science of substance use treatment or prevention, obtained supervised experience and passed the ICAP exam.

Ongoing professional development, networking and support - ISSUP provides a place for the workforce to come together, to access the tools provided by our partners and build the network of substance use prevention, treatment and recovery support workers in their field and location.
4. Introduction to the International Technology Transfer Center (ITTC)
Support a country to provide and maintain an effective workforce and system - The International Technology Transfer Center (ITTC) network for drug demand reduction is comprised of universities and research centres.
