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.
