Clinical Supervision: Realizing that supervision may take place in a variety of settings and have
many faces, the IC&RC/AODA, Inc. determined not to place limiting criteria on areas of supervision
or qualifications of a supervisor.  Rather, it was determined that supervision should be as broadly
defined as in the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT)/Substance Abuse and mental
health services Administration (SAMHSA)  Technical Assistance Publication  (TAP) #21.  TAP 21
defines supervision/clinical supervision as the administrative, clinical, and evaluative process of
monitoring, assessing and enhancing counselor performance.  (A minimum of 10 hours of
supervision in each domain is required)
