What you'll be seeking there in Alabama is licensure as an Alabama Addiction Professional (AAP), Certified Adolescent Alcohol & Drug Abuse Professional (CAADP), Alcohol Drug Counselor (ADC), or the Advanced Alcohol Drug Counselor (AADC), through the Alabama Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association (AADAA).  They require that your basic educational hours of drug/alcohol specific training MUST come from a college, university, or proprietary school.  At this time, Alabama DOES NOT allow distance learning to be used for these hours, so unfortunately you won't be able to use a distance learning program to gather your hours.  I'd suggest you visit the Alabama Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association site at https://www.aadaa.us for additional information about credentialing or use the email and phone listed above.  They should have a list of local providers that can assist you with your hours.
