Prior to the time of appointment, HR Office staff will provide uncertified or unlicensed LMATs, the written requirement to obtain licensure, the date by which the license must be acquired and the consequences for not becoming licensed by the deadline.

Licensure and Certification: The highest level of recognition in the field of Alcohol and Drug Treatment may be titled differently in each jurisdiction. For example, a state may title the highest-level of recognition in the field of Alcohol and Drug treatment as either "license" or "certification." When "license/licensed," "licensure," "certified/certification," or "non-licensed" is referenced throughout the standard and sub-appendices it is implied and intended to mean the certification or license granted by a jurisdiction depending on the highest level of recognition for professional ATs in the field of Alcohol and Drug Treatment. An individual in an AT or LMAT position must hold a states highest level of recognition for the specified level/position being filled in the field of Alcohol and Drug Treatment.
