Interested in Becoming a Drug Abuse Counselor?
Question by SophiesMom: Interested in becoming a drug abuse counselor?
I’ve been really interested for a long time in getting involved with drug abuse counseling. I live in Ohio. I have a BA but in a completely unrelated field (Art History). I can’t even seem to find a volunteer opportunity. I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can start or what organizations I could contact in Ohio or more specifically, in the Columbus region. Thanks for any suggestions!
