Job as Rehab Counselor / Qualifying as a Substance Abuse Professional?

Question by B!: Job as Rehab Counselor / Qualifying as a Substance Abuse Professional?
I’m a psychology major at school, going into my last leg of undergrad schooling. I’ve known for a long time that I want to work with drug abuse/rehabilitation (my brother is a recovered heroin addict), and I was curious:

What is required to get a job as a rehab counselor and is the pay alright? Are there any other jobs you can recommend for a psych student who wants to work in this field?

Also, what goes into qualifying as a substance abuse professional?

Looking for Help for My Drug Addict?

Question by dkcasad: Looking for Help for my Drug Addict?
I have a son who has struggled with drug addiction, choice of drug is/was oxycontin. He is now in jail after some very poor choices and will be spending time in prison. He is 24. I am in Indiana and am looking for an organization that might be able to help me at his sentencing with information on these evil prescription drugs and what they are doing to our children. My son did not commit the crime, my drugged out son did. He once was a star basketball player and a 3.0 student. Please only serious inquires that want to help or have information that can connect me with the right people.
correction- I meant serious responses not serious inquires, typo.
