What degrees do I need to get to work in rehab/addiction?

Published May 16, 2010

I am going to be a freshman in college this fall. I want to help people with addiction in rehab but I’m not sure how I would go about getting into that profession. I want to be able to prescribe the drugs that help people detox as well as help through counseling. I would like to at least get my bachelors in psychology and double major if possible. Any help would be great!

I am planning on continuing school after my bachelors, I just don’t know what path I need to be on. I really admire Dr. Drew (Celebrity Rehab, etc.) and would absolutely love to have his job or one similar (without being on TV) Any help would be great!
Sorry about posting twice, I’m new to asking questions.
