What exactly does "clinical" mean? What are the credential needed to be a "Clinical"? Isn't that just a term made up in the straights to sound proffesional with no credentials?

Anonymous:
It means they got their qualifications at the local car clinic.

My questions have been answered.  Thanks much.

Actually in my program, the clinical staff were the "suits" in the building.  They were not "in recovery" and were the only ones in the building that could say they had not been in group at any point in time.  Our clinicals were actually not qualified to do the work that they were doing, but credentials were not state mandated for substance abuse counseling during my era in group.  Our clinical staff had backgrounds in education administration, military, and possibly a psychologist clinical trainee on one occasion.  I know that since EP closed the assistant program coordinator has gone on to work as a private practice psychiatrist and her husband the program coordinator is now working for a local school district.

AARC's clinicals are the suits too. Some have and are just former peer staff who've gotten promoted. Sometimes there have been clinical's who have had a little bit of outside training like counseling 101. But other times they are just old AA guys who Dr. Vause likes.
