Section 13:34C-6.4 - Clinical supervision of an agency practice

(a) The Committee shall accept clinical supervision requirements in agencies licensed by the Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services, as substance abuse treatment facilities as they relate to the clinical supervision of alcohol and drug counselors, unless otherwise specified in this subchapter.

(b) Supervised agency practice by a certified alcohol and drug counselor does not apply to practice by that individual outside the licensed facility setting.

(c) If the Committee is advised of inadequacies in the clinical supervision of certified alcohol and drug counselors in a Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) licensed substance abuse treatment facility, the Committee shall notify the DMHAS of such inadequacies and may recommend to DMHAS a plan for clinical supervision. If the inadequacies in supervision within an agency practice setting, as defined in (a) above, are not resolved within three months of such notice, the agency supervision exemption described herein shall be withdrawn and the rule for supervised practice at N.J.A.C. 13:34C-6.3 shall be imposed upon subject certificate holders until such time as the Committee determines that the inadequacies in supervision have been corrected.

(d) For purposes of certified alcohol and drug counselor and licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor applications, the clinical director of the agency shall sign all supervisory forms required pursuant to this subchapter.
