Unfortunately, the standards for gaining the credentials to be addictioncounselors, who provide most of the care at treatment programs, are woefully inadequate.
Or should we think about this issue from the perspective of addictioncounselors and rephrase the question: Should we reward self-destructive behavior by providing more money to corrupt political elites in Greece?
According to a 2012 report by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia, 14 states don't require licensing or certification of all counselors, only six states require a bachelor's degree and just one requires a master's degree to gain credentials.
