South Dakota is adding the job title "addiction counselor supervisee" to its substance use disorder treatment rules to align with new credential standards being set by the Board of Addiction and Prevention Professionals. Addiction counselor supervisees can now perform the same clinical duties as addiction counselor trainees—including individual, group, and family counseling, integrated assessments, treatment planning, and discharge summaries—under proper supervision. The changes also clean up definitions, remove some outdated requirements (like references to deleted job titles), and adjust minor language throughout to improve clarity and grammar.
