How Kentucky Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor license verification works

A Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Kentucky is licensed by the KY Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: license_number license_type status issued expires disciplinary_actions.

Board note: OOP License Verification covers the LPC board (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor; LPC Associate is a separate type), MFT board, Examiners of Psychology (Licensed Psychologist; associates/temporary are other types), Alcohol and Drug Counselors (LCADC, CADC), Applied Behavior Analysis (Behavior Analyst). Social work (LCSW/LMSW) is the Board of Social Work, not on this site (not attempted).
