∙ 14y agoYes! Of course different states have different requirements for certification. Nevada, for example, requires a BA, 3 years since last probation ended and 3 years clean & sober. California's requirements for certification don't require a BA (for an entry level counselor) and is more relaxed about probation requirements. It also depends on what type of counselor you want to become and in what setting, (in house rehab, mental health office, etc) Contact your local mental health group and find out who the board is that regulates the different positions' requirements. There will be a board that specifically oversees the drug and alcohol certifications and licenses.

∙ 16y agoYes, each state has a Board or a Bureau of Alcohol & Drug Counselors that provides exams and certifications (licenses) for alcohol and drug counselors to practice. There are usually pre-requisites and requirements prior to taking the exams. Education, internship hours, etc. There is also a National Board and an International Board for counselors who will practice in several states or in other countries (ie. a military counselor).
