Is It True You Only Need a High School Diploma and Certification to Be a Substance Abuse Counselor?

Question by noname: Is it true you only need a high school diploma and certification to be a substance abuse counselor?
Hi, I’m a 31 year old mom and wife that is about to finish my associates degree in psychology next year and I want to get into counseling. I decided to return to college because I’m tired of dead end jobs and want to finish something I started years ago. As soon as I returned to college, I started getting straight A’s in all my classes and have so much enthusiasm to continue, yet I don’t want to be stuck in college until I’m 40 for my career to begin. The maximum I would like to invest is three more years, perhaps even four. I heard that with a bachelor’s in psychology you can’t really do much =-/. I want a better future for my family but I won’t settle for studying something I don’t like just because it’s short…like medical asst. I heard that to be a substance abuse counselor you don’t even have to have a master’s degree and some people only need a high school diploma in addition to some training to get certified…is that true? If so, where can I find out more? How much do these substance abuse counselors w/o the master’s make anyway? Or should I just stick to getting a bachelor’s in psychology and aim for the master’s while working in a job my bachelor’s can qualify me for?
