SB 18-020

Senate Bill 18-020, which has been signed into law, allows registered psychotherapists who have completed specific auricular acudetox training to perform this type of therapy. Previously, only licensed mental health care professionals and level III certified addiction counselors with the same training could do so. This change means that more therapists can now offer auricular acudetox to their clients, potentially increasing access to this form of treatment.

Official Summary

Current law allows licensed mental health care professionals and level III certified addiction counselors who have documented that they have undergone auricular acudetox training to perform auricular acudetox. The bill allows registered psychotherapists who have documented that they have undergone the same training requirements to also perform auricular acudetox.
