How to Get a Job in Addiction Counseling?
It is the unfortunate nature of our society that so many of our fellow citizens suffer from various forms of addiction. These addictions are often all-consuming and life-shattering. Whether the addiction is food related, or involves alcohol, drugs, or something else altogether, the addict often has an extremely difficult time breaking free from the vice. Fortunately, there are addiction counselors who are specifically trained to help addicts overcome these strongholds. And more people are seeking to help addicts by becoming addiction counselors. Students wishing to pursue the field of addiction counseling have the option of getting a Bachelor’s or a Master’s Degree. Students who choose the Bachelor’s degree route may choose to major in a field such as Sociology or Psychology. However, Master’s Degree holders have a wider range of job prospects in the field of addiction counseling. A student may pursue a Master’s Degree specifically in the field of addiction counseling. There are numerous schools all across the nation offering Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees related to the field of addiction counseling. A student should compare individual programs based on criteria such as cost, financial aid, reputation, and professor/student ratio before deciding on a school. In addition to completing coursework, students often must complete an internship to gain practical, hands-on experience in addiction counseling. After all coursework and internship requirements are met, the student must also pass exams required by NAADAC, the association for addiction professionals. Additional requirements for obtaining a license vary by state. Once certified, an addiction counselor has the opportunity to work in various fields. These settings include: hospitals, schools, prisons, private practice, and residential treatment facilities. An addiction counselor must possess excellent communication skills as well as a desire to help others turn their lives around. The job outlook for addiction counselors is strong. Employment in the field of counseling is expected to increase by 18 percent from the years 2008 to 2018. This is a faster growth rate than that expected for the average occupation.

He has devised a twenty-four session, open ended, group treatment curriculum for adult felony offenders that encourages emotional responsibility and facilitates their working individually as well as jointly in altering some patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that have had negative consequences for themselves and others. A national research project conducted in the year 2000 showed that 83% of the individuals who have taken part in the 24-session clinical program are relapse free for the duration of the group, and 90% are arrest free for the duration of the group. In addition, 76% are both relapse and rearrest free for six months after completing the group."<ref>Focus on Practice. Clinical Practice: Treating Sociopaths and Substance Abusers: Rand L.
