Substance Abuse/AODA (Alcohol & Other Drug Abuse) Counselor - Substance abuse counselors work with individuals and families dealing with substance abuse problems.
Mental health counselors work in hospitals, behavior medicine facilities, prisons, rehabilitation centers, clinics, and other institutions. They work closely with other specialists including psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. They provide individual and group therapy sessions and monitor the patient's activities and progress during treatment. They also may refer patients to other resources and support services. Counselors may work evenings to accommodate clients' schedules.
Mental health counselors usually need a master's degree in mental health counseling or in psychology or social work. To become certified, counselors must earn their master's degree and complete certain requirements including: acquiring post master's experience, passing a written exam, and confirmation of supervised clinical experience.
