Addictions Counseling
An Addictions Counselor is a support person for people with drug and alcohol problems, eating disorders and other behavioral issues. They teach individuals how to modify their behavior with the intention of full recovery. Because clients are susceptible to relapses, many addiction counselors work with clients on an on-going basis.
Other duties include:
Meeting with clients to evaluate their health and substance problem
Identifying issues and create goals and treatment plans
Teaching clients coping mechanisms
Helping clients find jobs or reestablish their career
Leading group therapy sessions
Providing updates and progress reports to courts
Referring clients to support groups
Setting up aftercare plans
Meeting with family members and provide guidance and support
