college major is not required to become a drug and alcohol counsiler. Classes and field experience are required though. But, majoring in addiction, phycology, and biochemistry would be recomended to better suit your dealings in the field. Becoming a counsiler means you must make a comittment to help other persons in need. The pay is not that high aorund $ 40,000 depending on a degree as well, but if you love your job it shouldnt matter. There are tons of jobs for abuse counsilers for outpatient and inpatient places. I recommend the major in drug abuse, only if you are truely committed because the job is extremely commitment based. First hand experience. Good Luck !
