Yes, you will have to complete the entirety of a doctoral program, at least for all of the programs I am familiar with. While there is some overlap between the fields, the coursework is different in content, scope, and depth.

If by "use it" you mean transfer credits so that you can be released from some coursework requirments in the doctoral program (?), then yes, a few select courses will likley be accpeted for transfer by many (but not all) programs. Does this shorten the time it takes to complete the doctorate? No. Will just make the load a little bit lighter...
