Substance Abuse Counselor Licensing Info for All States

   Greetings from Jim Nolan…

Each month I post jobs in the areas of Art Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, and Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counseling. Here are the URLs to all of the states’ Alcohol Counseling Licensing boards, so that you can see who requires what. It varies a lot across states, as you might have guessed. At Southwestern College, we train people to become Alcohol/Drug Counselors for new Mexico, and they can check here to see what else, if anything, they might need if they are moving to another state…Happy hunting, and good fortune to all…

Warmly,

 

Jim Nolan
