How Do I Become a Drug and Alcohol Counselor?

Question by : How do I become a drug and alcohol counselor?
I have struggled with addiction for years and now that I am clean and getting my life back on track I finally decided what I want to do with my life. I want to help others that are going through what I did. I am just worried because I’m 24 and don’t have alot of school under my belt. Is there any websites I can go to get a list of schools in my area. (illinois) I read something once that was like a 2-3 year school specifically for that but I totally forgot the name and I can’t seem to find it. Any help is appreciated

Normally i would say 3 University years and become a social worker.

Find at counsellor and ask if there is a shorter root.
