According to the Labor Department, the outlook for employment on Substance Abuse Counseling is good through the remainder of the decade. Licensed chemical dependency counselors enjoy the pride that comes from working in one of the most demanding areas of social services. Although the relapse rate is high, working with addicts can be intensely rewarding: the work is deeply personal as you help clients delve to heart of personal and family issues. Getting a Substance Abuse and Addiction Counseling degree or certificate is essential preparation.

In most programs, you will study theories of addiction; therapeutic interventions; dysfunctional families; and professional ethics. You can then explore employment opportunities in clinics, residential programs, and the criminal justice system.
