Michigan Registration/Development Plan for 
Addiction Counselors

Authority

Individuals providing clinical services in Office of Drug Control Policy (ODCP) funded programs contracted with Regional Coordinating Agencies are required to be certified with the Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals (MCBAP). If the registrant currently does not meet the qualifications to be certified he or she must complete and submit a Development Plan to show they are making reasonable progress toward becoming certified with MCBAP.


Application to Practice 

The Developmental Plan is intended to assist in identifying the steps you must take to meet contractual requirements in the State of Michigan.

 Objective

The Registration/Development Plan contract is an effort to assure the public of the State of Michigan, that the registrant will be provided the conditions and support to make reasonable progress toward becoming certified with the Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals (MCBAP). The Development Plan on file with MCBAP brings about an added layer of protection to the clients served by the agency and public at large. The plan also provides accountability to the Registrant, Clinical Supervisor and the Treatment Agency.

The Development Plan will also serve as a method by which statewide data will be collected regarding professional substance abuse counselors. The data is important in identifying the ongoing status of the substance abuse workforce in the State of Michigan. The information will assist with identification of future needs, e.g., competency standards, credentialing, training, education, future funding and other planning activities. The aggregate data will be shared with groups such as providers, Regional Coordinating Agencies, Office of Drug Control Policy (ODCP), elected officials and other interested parties.

 

 Professional Development Process

The Development Plan is intended to identify steps required to seek MCBAP certification.

For more information regarding requirements for certification in the State of Michigan, refer to the “Requirements” section of the MCBAP website or contact the MCBAP office at 517-347-0891.
