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?

Why Does Everyone Answer Questions Here “You Need Counseling” or “You Need a Doctor”?

Question by Just Me Being Me: Why does everyone answer questions here “you need counseling” or “you need a doctor”?
DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND, I get how useful and helpful a therapist can be and I get how sometimes there are medical conditions that need a doctor’s review but what happened to hard work? What happened to putting in the effort to make things work and putting yourself out of your comfort zone? What happened to honesty and truth and reality?
