"Celebrity Rehab" alum Mackenzie Phillips is in the process of becoming a certified drug and alcohol rehabilitation counselor ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the actress tell us ... Phillips -- who famously struggled with substance abuse for years --- is roughly half-way through a certification program and hopes to use her experience to help struggling addicts acknowledge and defeat their demons.

We're told Mackenzie's progress will be captured for a new reality show called "No Relapse" produced by powerhouse reality company 44 Blue ... and sources connected to the project tell us the show is already getting, "Strong interest from multiple networks."

I hope and pray all works out for her - that she remains clean and is able to use her experiences to help others. I also hope and pray that she is able to reconcile with her family. God bless Mack!!!

She's hardly ditching Hollywood if she's getting a reality series. Hopefully she has her act together for good and can learn by helping other troubled people.
