Hello,
Great questions! We’ve actually covered this topic in our article How to Become a Substance Abuse Counselor!
The article even includes details on NY certification education & supervised counseling hour requirements.
Two great education options are University of South Dakota Undergraduate Certificate in Addiction Studies and Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies.
Best of luck!
