I would really like to become an addiction counselor someday. I have lost a lot of people in my life to alcohol or drug addiction and it really hurt me so.

Having a background in psychology will help you immensely. I think you will also have to undergo a program regarding addiction counseling before you become qualified to become an addiction counselor. The second link that I have included below will get to help you in finding treatment centers. Just ask them for the requirements and while you’re at it, you could probably ask the counselors there about their experience so you would know what to expect.

Good luck! I really hope that you get to achieve this dream. We need lots more people like you in this world.
