Two hypotheses, examining levels of self-efficacy for providing substance use services in mental health counselors and whether external variables impacted the reported self-efficacy, are presented. In Central Appalachia 65 licensed mental health counselors completed the Substance Use Self-Efficacy Scale (SATSES) and answered demographic questions. Hypothesis 1 stated mental health counselors in Central Appalachia would self-report low levels of perceived selfefficacy in providing services to clients with substance use issues. This hypothesis was not supported by the research findings. Hypothesis 2 specified level of education, credentials, number of graduate substance abuse classes completed, number of continuing education hours on substance abuse, length of time in field of counseling, and length of time working with substance using individuals as potential predictors for counselors’ reported levels of self-efficacy. Hypothesis 2 was supported. Ancestral roots of the Appalachian culture as relate to the current substance use epidemic are exposed. Challenges in andragogy, service systems, and for providing effective interventions for the Appalachian epidemic are discussed.
