Credentialing Support Partnership     

The Credentialing Support Partnership (CSP) is designed to provide comprehensive support (skill building, coaching, mentoring, etc.) and resources to NH substance use professionals. The CSP team provides assistance free of charge. We support professional credentialing for substance use prevention, recovery, and treatment providers. We assist with general credentialing questions, application review, LADC/MLADC clinical supervision and IC&RC exam study preparation. This program aims to expand behavioral health workforce capacity and access to evidenced-based treatment from licensed providers.

Is This Program Right for You?

General Support

The CSP staff is dedicated to providing support and answering general questions related to substance use licensure and certification. We work closely with the New Hampshire Prevention Certification Board, and the NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification and it's Board of Licensing for Alcohol and Other Drug Use Professionals, attending their meetings and learning all that we can to support substance use credentials.


The credentials we can help with include: Certified Prevention Specialist; Advanced Certified Prevention Specialist; Certified Recovery Support Worker; Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor; Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor; and Licensed Clinical Supervisor.


Erin Masury, Program Coordinator, and the CSP team, can be reached at (603) 225-7060 or credentialing@nhadaca.org.
