Substance Abuse Counselor Jobs Overview

Addiction affects millions of lives in the U.S. every year, with only 10% receiving any treatment. Substance abuse counselors significantly impact their communities by helping patients overcome their dependencies and become self-sufficient. You are the perfect candidate for substance abuse counselor jobs if you have a natural inclination to help those in need, and you enjoy working with others.

If you're looking to enter this meaningful and rewarding career, it's an ideal time, as the demand for workers is high, and the job outlook is promising. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects a 22% growth in the substance abuse and mental health field over the next ten years, which is much faster than other occupations.

In this role, you'll become a key figure in the lives of your patients. Working one-on-one or in group sessions, you'll provide support to help patients recover from addiction by developing goals and strategies for pursuing sobriety. You could work in various settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, prisons, halfway houses, private practices, and non-profit organizations.

Typical duties of a substance abuse counselor could include:

  • working with clients to identify behaviors that interfere with recovery
  • developing, recommending, and reviewing treatment plans with clients and their families
  • helping clients gain or maintain employment
  • assisting in practicing skills and behaviors necessary for recovery
  • recommending 12-step programs, groups, and support networks
  • documenting and keeping records of progress
