A Job as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor?
Question by Jenn: A job as a drug and alcohol counselor?
Do I have to get some type of degree to become and drug and alcohol counselor or get certified to be one?
Best answer:
Answer by engakwasdky
Yes and Yes.
As far as degrees go, you will have to get at least a bachelor’s degree in social work or other mental health field (psychology, sociology, etc.). Now, some facilities will hire you with just a bachelor’s degree and give you the title of a “counselor”, but MOST facilities require you to have a master’s degree in mental health counseling, counseling psychology, or social work. And as a word of advice, most places require you to have a master’s degree in social work (MSW) for insurance billing purposes.
Do You Think My Dad’s Health Insurance Would Cover Therapy for Me?
Question by ??????? ? JON ? ???????: Do you think my dad’s health insurance would cover therapy for me?
I am 20, and I’d like to go to psychological therapy this summer, a few sessions maybe, but I don’t want my parents to know. I do have my dad’s health insurance card though…do you think therapy would be covered? I know you don’t know his exact plan…but is therapy one of those things that’s never covered, or maybe is it always? Thanks for any help.
Libbyami: Should have seen that coming. Why do people always assume I don’t have a job? I do. And I’m a full time student. But I don’t want to go to their counseling services because I’m always afraid I’ll see someone there.

It varies. Some plans cover mental health and some don’t. Check with your dad’s insurance provider. All health questions are confidential.

Answer by raysny
The most recent I could find for the US has the figures for 1997:
“A study shows that the U.S. spent a combined $ 11.9 billion on alcohol and drug abuse treatment, while the total social costs were more than $ 294 billion. The results were part of the National Estimates of Expenditures for Substance Abuse Treatment, 1997, which was released at the end of April by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
The report, prepared by the MEDSTAT Group for SAMHSA, examines how much is spent in the U.S. to treat alcohol and drug abuse, how that spending has changed between 1987 and 1997, how much of the spending is done by the private and public sectors, and how substance abuse expenditures compare to spending for mental health and other health conditions in the U.S.”
