The Addictive Disorder Regulatory Authority published a new Rule in the August issue of the Louisiana Register. The rule sets out requirements for the Counselor-in-Training. The most significant change, according to the Authority, is that Counselor-in-Training applicants must now document completion of 180 substance abuse/addiction specific education hours.
The ADRA is working to complete work on the “Competencies Verification Form,” which is to be used by supervisors to document competencies of the CIT. The rule also indicates that the CIT in connection with the supervisor will develop a learning plan that includes acquiring the competencies outlined in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHS) technical assistance publications series for addiction counseling competencies. This process must be documented in the learning plan.
