Job as Rehab Counselor / Qualifying as a Substance Abuse Professional?

Question by B!: Job as Rehab Counselor / Qualifying as a Substance Abuse Professional?
I’m a psychology major at school, going into my last leg of undergrad schooling. I’ve known for a long time that I want to work with drug abuse/rehabilitation (my brother is a recovered heroin addict), and I was curious:

What is required to get a job as a rehab counselor and is the pay alright? Are there any other jobs you can recommend for a psych student who wants to work in this field?

Also, what goes into qualifying as a substance abuse professional?

Why Did These Souls Choose to Incarnate Again?

Question by Artemis: Why did these souls choose to incarnate again?
Quoting:

“Many people have asked me why a soul would choose alcoholism or drug addiction as a life lesson. Some may have to go through it because they were judgmental of alcoholics in a past life and need to come back and experience it themselves. I have seen several souls who have destroyed their bodies in past lives because of substance abuse. They then have to keep reincarnating until they stop the self destructive cycle and break the addiction. I have seen other souls who simply want to have the experience of drug or alcohol dependency.”
