Substance use disorder treatment programs in South Dakota can now employ "addiction counselor supervisees" as a new staff category, in addition to addiction counselors and trainees. Supervisees can conduct family counseling, group counseling, individual counseling, integrated assessments, treatment planning, and discharge summaries under clinical supervision—duties previously limited to fully certified addiction counselors and trainees. This change aligns South Dakota's licensing rules with the Board of Addiction and Prevention Professionals' broader credentialing standards for the supervisee role.
