Question by Meggiex: Addictions Counseling / Substance Abuse Counselor.?
I want to become an addictions counselor, and I already asked what kind of degree I would need, but now I am wondering what colleges/ universities in the US are good to get that degree. At first I was thinking that staying close would be better but now I would consider going away from home.
Please let me know of any colleges/ universities with good Substance Abuse/Addictions counseling programs. Thank you! :)
(Ps, I am wondering, because my major used to be Occupational Therapy, but I find the Counseling thing more interesting!

A Masters in Counseling eg:
http://cps.regis.edu/degrees-masters-counseling.php
Regis University’s Master of Arts in Counseling degree prepares career-oriented adults and professionals for careers as counselors who treat mental and emotional disorders at community agencies, nonprofit mental health agencies, child and family counseling centers, substance abuse centers, and employee assistance organizations.
Don’t worry too much about what you do undergrad.
Thanks
