The TAP 21 counselor competencies describe what fully proficient counselors can do in clinical practice. Those competencies may be introduced in pre-employment education and training settings, but they are often developed more fully on the job. It is typically the clinical supervisor’s responsibility to mentor counselor development and facilitate the building of new knowledge and skills, not only during counselors’ early years but throughout their careers. To that end, clinical supervisors in agencies specializing in the treatment of substance use disorders are expected to be knowledgeable and proficient in the addiction counseling competencies.

Clinical supervision itself is much discussed in the professional literature of several disciplines, including social work, psychology, and both mental health and substance use disorder counseling. Theories, process dynamics, and tools abound, but the functional responsibilities and essential skills of the substance use disorder treatment supervisor had not been synthesized into one document that could serve as a standard for the field. To remedy that situation, CSAT convened the Clinical Supervision Competencies Task Force (the Task Force) in fall 2005. The Task Force, composed of experts in substance abuse treatment and clinical supervision from across the country, was charged with developing this document, TAP 21-A, Competencies for Substance Abuse Treatment Clinical Supervisors. TAP 21-A is designed to accompany TAP 21, taking monitoring, assessment, and improvement of addiction counseling competencies to the next level.
