Reciprocity Into MCBAP

Addiction professionals certified by an IC&RC member board who relocate to Michigan may transfer their credential to MCBAP using the reciprocity process. To begin 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 MCBAP, the certified addiction professional will then be issued the equivalent credential offered by MCBAP.

Reciprocity Out of MCBAP

Addiction professionals certified by MCBAP who relocate to another state, country or nation, may transfer their credential to the new jurisdiction using the reciprocity profess. This may only be done 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 professionals are strongly encouraged to contact the IC&RC member board in the new jurisdiction to determine if any additional requirements must be met. To begin the process, certified professionals must contact MCBAP and request a reciprocity application. Upon completion of the application by both the certified addiction professional and MCBAP, and upon receipt of this information by the certification board in the new jurisdiction, the professional will then be issued the equivalent credential offered in the new jurisdiction unless laws or regulations governing the practice of addiction related services in the new jurisdiction must first be met.
