Substance Abuse TX CTRs

Is it in the LVN/LPT scope of practice in CA to perform COWS and CIWAS under the supervision of a RN? 

Do you know if MAs and RADTs are allowed to perform COWS and CIWAS?

I've noticed that MAs and RADTs are replacing LVNs/LPTs in substance abuse tx ctrs probably because they are cheaper. Just like the use of MedTechs in ALs/MC units who are passing meds with insufficient training.

Thank you for your time.
