Health professions; substance abuse counseling assistants. Provides for an additional category of certification for substance abuse counseling assistants and delineates the difference in the scope of duties between a substance abuse counselor and a substance abuse counseling assistant. The bill also recognizes the name change of one of the nationally recognized associations from the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors to NAADAC: the Association for Addiction Professionals. The bill adds “certified substance abuse counseling assistant” to the list of individuals who may render services and receive reimbursement from insurance. The bill also provides for the continued certification of those persons who were certified prior to July 1, 2001, or who had registered their supervisory contracts or filed applications for certification with the Board prior to that date. Also, the bill provides that any application for certification filed after July 1, 2001, but before the effective date of the new regulations, for a person who meets the requirements in effect prior to July 1, 2001, shall be operative until the new regulations are in effect, when such person shall be deemed certified at the appropriate level under the new regulations. Additionally, this bill directs the Board to approve as a supervisor for individuals seeking certification as a counselor or assistant any person who has been approved prior to July 1, 2001.
