Dual Diagnosis Rehab Testimonial: Alcoholism, Depression and Eating Disorder – Holly’s Story – A student shares her story of struggle with alcohol abuse, eating disorder and depression and a life changing experience that followed after being admitted to Sovereign Health of California (www.sovcal.com). While on the surface her life seemed more than fine — she was an ace student with a job, internally she was struggling with these disorders which were destroying her. Her problems only became more serious over time, she began drinking alone and withdrawing socially and reached a point where she couldn’t find the strength to go any further. Then came what she calls a “life changing experience” which not only helped her recover from these disorders but she went on to finish two Masters degrees after that and today hold a job which involves working with people and helping them.

Question by Olivia: How many years of school do you need to become a substance abuse and behavioral counselor?
Also, not a school counselor. I want to work with adults and teenagers but I didn’t know I would have to go to school for almost eight years? Is this true? Did my school counselor have to go to school for that long too?

Answer by StellaStarfire
“While on-the-job training is often provided, some employers prefer candidates that have a bachelor’s degree or higher in psychology, sociology or a related subject along with two years of counseling in a related field or equivalent life experience such as being a former drug addict or performing volunteer work. Some substance abuse counselors have a master’s degree in mental health counseling. Numerous colleges provide associate degree programs for counselors which usually take two years to complete. The programs include training in drugs and alcohol. Some of the programs offer training in crisis intervention.

What kind of a therapist? You can probably land a job as a psychiatric social worker with just a Masters degree in Social Work or Psychology. A Masters is four-years of undergraduate college, followed by two years for a Masters degree. Psychology is one of the “easier” sciences, compared to say, Nuclear Physics. But it is still college and will be harder than high school.

To have much chance of landing a position as a psychologist you need to have a Ph.D. Add three more years to the Masters.
