Ethical Complaint Form

This page allows you to file a complaint against a Substance Use Disorder Professional in North Carolina. A Substance Use Disorder Professional is a Registrant, Intern/Associate or certified/licensed professional covered by the North Carolina Addictions Specialist Professional Practice Act.

Please be aware of a few caveats when filing your Complaint:

Anonymous Complaints are by standard procedure not investigated.
An ethics investigation cannot proceed without admissible evidence. Hearsay evidence cannot be used in an disciplinary proceeding.
Some complaints are dismissed due to being a personnel matter. Please recognize the difference between a personnel matter and a possible ethical breach.

If you do not know some of the information regarding the Respondent, then mark that field “N/A.”
