The Addiction Counselors family
DORA groups its license types into 40 families. This one holds 5,327 active licenses across 6 types.
155 of the 5,327 active licenses in the Addiction Counselors family carry a disciplinary action in DORA's file — 2.9%.
This site publishes that count and no more: never who, and never a case number. DORA records the type of action and no reason at all, and the two most common entries statewide are a stipulation and a letter of admonition — agreed outcomes. Every license counted here is active. Why that line is drawn there.
