How to Introduce Evive to a Client

The Addictive Disorder Regulatory Authority is the state licensing and credentialing board for addiction counselors and prevention professionals. In Louisiana, the practice of most health care professions is licensed and regulated by appointed boards placed within the Department of Health and Hospitals. Therefore, the legislature hereby finds it appropriate that the responsibility and authority to regulate the practice of addictive disorder treatment and prevention be exercised by a licensing board created for that purpose. Throughout this website you will find the necessary information to obtain an ADRA credential.
