Interested in becoming a drug abuse counselor?
March 25th, 2010 | by admin |I’ve been really interested for a long time in getting involved with drug abuse counseling. I live in Ohio. I have a BA but in a completely unrelated field (Art History). I can’t even seem to find a volunteer opportunity. I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can start or what organizations I could contact in Ohio or more specifically, in the Columbus region. Thanks for any suggestions!

An addictions counselor usually needs many hours of clinical experience on the job before sitting for the examination. This organization should have more info about becoming a certified addictions counselor: http://www.naadac.org
