My boyfriend didn't have an associates at all and got a job as a Case Manager (working with addicts). He makes okay money (27K) and it's a great way to get your foot in the door. A lot of driving is involved- goes from hospital to rehab to shelter to sober house and back to office most days. But he loves it. He is in the process of getting an associates in drug counseling. Life experience is a big plus in these kinds of jobs, more than education.

∙ 14y agoThere are AS or AA degrees in addiction studies or similar areas. However, to be a counselor usually requires either a higher degree or other certification, such as CAAP or CAP. A counselor who wishes to work without supervision needs, at minimum, a BA and CAP (Certified Addiction Professional) certificate. However, these are not usually necessary for entry level jobs.
Note: the CAP requires 6,000 contact hours, so find a job as a tech someplace and start keeping track.
