The Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board Addiction Counselor Advisory Committee met June 15, 2026, to review a proposal from Acadia Healthcare to loosen eligibility for the state's student temporary addiction counselor license (proposed: reduce coursework from 60 to 18 credit hours, remove a minimum age, and add an explicit supervised scope of practice) and to hear alternative workforce approaches from the Board of Nursing and KDADS.
