Certification by Other Licensure Reciprocity
By D. Shannan McKinney, LPC/S, LPC, CAC II, Chair, SCAADAC Certification Commission

On behalf of the SCAADAC Certification Commission, I am pleased to inform you that SCAADAC’s Certification Commission has approved a new provision for obtaining certification for counselors who currently hold a licensure in good standing in the state of South Carolina in a related mental health/counseling field. The person seeking certification under this provision must be fully licensed (i.e., not a licensed intern, etc.). The Commission’s intention in approving this new provision is to build a skilled workforce and maintain qualified licensed individuals throughout the substance abuse treatment profession in South Carolina.

Please refer to the enclosed checklist, labeled Appendix VIII, which details the requirements and conditions under which certification may be obtained through reciprocity. Appendix VII: Requirements for Certification by Other Licensure Reciprocity is intended to become a permanent provision.

This provision is effective as of the date of this memo. We hope that all eligible members of the substance abuse profession will take advantage of this opportunity to further enhance their professional credentials through certification.

SCAADAC’s Application Manual, which contains all related forms, is available online at http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GRRyZ2gLNe4EyVFw6Hsrjjfe4-ututTLw9uBIkPMn_HpAc9JNIqGR-sDVneY455Ah4Ep5H6E5m8N6VloPH7xHMmo8c1pftXoJZfMDcaUWCVZffJNn_kBLu8TEwuD2DBg4YdVV8BRTxKQYdXkWpEyVocqEZGssciB6NqdPfOoSNKnHZZ-ayJT52G0teAvmjU4-Uit0sJ1ojdLaG6iLeOVeW2G5TGRwDj7v6kSGZoDCfT4m0MfJoq1jGB8WY6oX6GVMZej_fHxWzM_Wkjs3D_iqBSue24eSe42ps-7u87lnZJ-ytBdT7Midrjdt4CXfFZGak2nCabHe3o=&c=1GN-sk-KQDeMhux5e-Nyrh6Rs0EEMoAaQhz8rWOsjlSeaEp0iD5ngg==&ch=7-FkyLEfIGbCvzLEMxnc-RG1UVpZBo4ddhHLnccacTzZNHttg-hHmw==
