The American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM) stopped certifying new applicants in 2015 and will cease all operations on September 1, 2025. Beginning in May 2025, ABAM will offer a Lifetime Certificate to all active Diplomates. As of August 1, 2025, ABAM will no longer monitor ABAM Diplomate Lifetime Certificate holders for their participation in maintenance of certification programs or their compliance with state medical board licensure. ABAM will make no endorsement of Lifetime Certificate holders beyond acknowledgment that as of August 1, 2025, the Certificate holder was an active ABAM Diplomate. Only those Diplomates with no current restrictions, according to the Federation of State Medical Boards as of August 1, 2025, will be considered for Lifetime status.
