Addiction counselors work with families and individuals of all ages who are experiencing problems with addictive behaviors. Counselors may work
as members of treatment teams in inpatient or outpatient settings, with schools, or in businesses. They provide group, individual, and couples
therapy as well as assessments and interventions. Addiction counselors also work as liaisons for their clients to judicial systems, schools, state
services, and communities. Counselors may serve as educators in their communities, acquainting community members with treatment options
and prevention strategies for the community.
