Addiction counselors
Addiction counselors are trained professionals who help individuals struggling with substance or behavioral dependencies. They provide support, education, and strategies to understand and overcome addiction, addressing underlying causes and developing personalized recovery plans. Using therapy techniques, counselors assist clients in managing cravings, coping with triggers, and rebuilding healthy habits. Their goal is to facilitate lasting recovery, improve overall well-being, and prevent relapse. They often work in clinics, rehabilitation centers, and community programs, collaborating with clients and, when appropriate, their families to ensure comprehensive care and support throughout the recovery process.
