2026-235 IP Rule Alc 400

Score 66PRIMARYregulatoryState registerNH

Summary

The New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification published an initial proposal amending Chapter Alc 400, governing ongoing requirements for Certified Recovery Support Workers (CRSWs), Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors (LADCs), and Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors (MLADCs). The amendments revise definitions, including adding a definition of 'qualified service organization' cross-referencing 42 CFR 2.11, establish new general renewal requirements with attestation obligations, restructure continuing education requirements, and add 'inactive status' as a defined licensure category. The rule also refines supervision and peer collaboration requirements for each license class.

What this may mean

CRSWs, LADCs, and MLADCs in New Hampshire face new attestation requirements at renewal confirming compliance with supervision and peer collaboration obligations, and revised continuing education mandates including specific required hours for ethics, suicide prevention, and co-occurring disorders. The cross-reference to 42 CFR 2.11's 'qualified service organization' definition ties New Hampshire SUD counselor licensing directly to the federal Part 2 framework. BH/SUD treatment facilities employing these credentialed workers are indirectly affected by the revised license renewal standards.
