In support
 

I support this petition. Issues around substance abuse can be very complicated and clinicians working with addicts need to be qualified, experienced, well-supervised, and held to the same standards as Residences in Counseling in order to uphold integrity and excellence in the field. There are already enough grey-areas in regulations and clarity is warranted here in order to prevent misinterpretation and an ultimate disservice to the public.
