Kentucky DUI Agency Start Blueprint-ClearPath Blueprint Series
Thinking about opening a DUI agency in Kentucky?Before you sign a lease, hire a counselor, or spend a dollar on curriculum — you need to understand something most guides miss entirely: Kentucky requires two separate licenses from two separate agencies before you can serve a single client.This blueprint covers both.What makes Kentucky unique:Kentucky operates a dual-licensing system. You need an AODE license (Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Entity, under 908 KAR 1:370) AND a DUI Program Certification (under 908 KAR 1:310). These are two separate regulatory tracks, administered by different divisions within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services — and historically they have operated as independent silos that do not coordinate with each other.Most guides only cover one. This Blueprint covers both.What's inside this 30+ page guide:✅ The two-license structure explained side by side — AODE vs DUI Program Cert✅ Full 8-step AODE licensing process — Fire Marshal, KOG account, P&Ps, site inspection✅ Clinical Services Supervisor credential requirements — sourced directly from 908 KAR 1:370✅ Two client population tracks — first offenders (education) vs repeat offenders (treatment)✅ Who inspects which records — OIG vs Cabinet, and why they don't talk to each other✅ Complete fee schedule — $500 AODE license, $80/extension site, annual renewals✅ Record keeping requirements — 6-year retention, full client record checklist✅ 11 Gotchas that trip up new providers✅ 17-item First Steps Launch Checklist✅ Dos & Don'ts from real operational experienceWhy this guide exists:I operated five court-mandated DUI education agencies.
