If I were to go to school for this kind of psychology what would it be called?
I want to work in rehab clinics for drug problems/eating disorders/behavioral problems. Specializing in adolescents. I think it’s behavioral therapy, But would I be a clinical psychologist/therapist?

You could get a masters degree in either social work or counseling psychology. You could become a licensed certified social worker, or LCSW, LPC, Licensed professional counselor, and or obtain your credentials and certification as a drug and alcohol counselor. Either way you are looking at a bachelors degree first, usually in psych or education, then onto the masters program. If you want to become a psychologist, you need a Ph.D which is after the master’s program. Good luck.
