Question by stacey a: drug and alcohol counseling?
I am interested in becoming a drug and alcohol counselor in the state of Georgia. I understand there is a 40 hour course that certifies people. Could anyone give me more information on this?

Answer by angela b
Is that all.I am an holistic counsellor,specialising in addictions and it took me 4 years altogether.Are you sure it’s not a course for people who are already a counsellor and what to do another course specialising in Drug and Alcohol addictions.40 hours doing a course and then you become qualified in something does not sound right.there has to be a catch.Like can you get insurance when you become qualified.Can you work for yourself,or is the course intended for people who want to work as a volunteer some where .way I hope it all works out for you.
