They tend to study Psychology, where they can then apply to be a proper counselor that can talk and help with substance abuse individuals. The most popular college in the US would be University of Glasgow, but it depends on your location.
In order to get substance abuse certification, you must first go to college and study sociology and psychology. You may want to ask a counselor on any other classes that he/she may recommend.

The sociological study often referenced in discussions about child abuse and its causes is the "Child Maltreatment" report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

It suggests that factors such as family dynamics, substance abuse, and social support systems play a more critical role in the prevalence of child maltreatment. Therefore, addressing these underlying issues is essential for preventing abuse, rather than solely focusing on economic conditions.
