So find a school with a bachelors degree in social work then go for your masters, then you can specialize. If you can't find a school that offers a degree in social work, take sociology and/or psychology. My alcohol/substance abuse counselor has a Master’s in Social Work.

However, you can also help people by being a peer helper w/o certification. Look into local places that offer counseling, group therapies, etc. Best of luck to you!
