Can You Work in England With an American LADC (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor)?

Question by : Can you work in England with an American LADC (licensed alcohol and drug counselor)?
I’m wondering if after I get my LADC certification here in Boston, MA if I will be able to use that to get a job in England doing addictions work. I’m sure they will require all the paperwork but has anyone ever done this or something similar before? I will not be getting my license until May.
