RECIPROCITY
RECIPROCITY INTO RIBCCDP:
Addiction professionals certified by an IC&RC member board who relocate to Rhode
Island may transfer their credential to the RIBCCDP using the reciprocity process. No
additional requirements will have to be met by the certified professional using this
process to transfer their credential to Rhode Island.
Rhode Island does have Licensure. Applicants that reciprocate into the RIBCCDP will
be sent a RIBCCDP certificate for their respective reciprocal credential. In addition, they
will be sent a Licensure application which requires submission of the following to the
Department of Health: A copy of the RIBCCDP awarded certificate, a 2x2 passport
photo, an Original Birth Certificate or notarized copy of their Original Birth Certificate and
a $50.00 Licensing Fee. You MUST be certified as an ACDP II or ACDP to be eligible for
a LCDP (Licensed Chemical Dependency Professional) or certified as a CDCS to be
eligible for a LCDCS (Licensed Chemical Dependency Clinical Supervisor).
To begin the reciprocity process, certified addiction professionals must contact their
current credentialing board and request a reciprocity application. Upon completion of
the reciprocity application by both the certified addiction professional and the current
credentialing board and upon receipt of this information by the RIBCCDP, the RIBCCDP
will then issue the certified addiction professional the equivalent credential offered by
RIBCCDP.
RECIPROCITY OUT OF RIBCCDP:
Addiction professionals certified by the RIBCCDP who relocate to another state, country,
or nation may transfer their credential to the new jurisdiction using the reciprocity
process only if the new jurisdiction is an IC&RC member board. Reciprocity to a
non-IC&RC member board is not permitted. Additional requirements may be imposed
upon the certified addiction professional depending on the laws and regulations
governing the practice of addiction related services in the new jurisdiction. Therefore,
certified addiction professionals are strongly encouraged to contact the IC&RC member
board in the new jurisdiction to determine if any additional requirements must be met.
