Question by Green: AODA counselor degree advice?
Hi there. I want to become an AODA counselor, I was wondering, hopefully for some advice from real AODA counselors, how is the schooling money/studying-wise? Is it worth the job? (Im sure I will find the job more than worthwhile no matter what, I don’t care for money, I want to help people more than anything)

What does the school consist of and how many years should I plan on going?

thanks in advance.

Best answer:

Answer by jannsody
If by AODA counselor, you’re referring to an “alcohol and other drug abuse” counselor, which is most likely similar to the credentials of CAC (certified addiction counselor) or CADC (certified alcohol and drug counselor), then obtaining a master’s degree can make a person more marketable in the field.    Read more...

Question by K8tea: I would like to become a substance abuse counselor. Please Help?
I will be turning 23 this fall. I’ve been out of school since 2009. The only college I’ve done is receiving my CNA through a technical college in 2009. It was only a 4 month program. It was an awesome experience but I realized nursing wasn’t for me. I really enjoyed the helping others I got out of it, though. Since then I’ve just been working and saving money. I’ve been working as a housekeeper but I’ve come to the point where it’s time for me to do something else with my life. I have three passions in life: dancing, film making, and helping others…wanting to make a difference.    Read more...
