Anywhere between $25 - 60K a year, depending on degrees, certification, and position (counselor, treatment director, private practice, etc.) Top end would be a Masters level or PhD with Master Addiction Professional and state professional licensing (in Florida, Licensed Mental Health Counselor).
Addiction counseling is not the highest-paying area in the mental health field by any means, but it is one of the more challenging and rewarding. The best counselors tend to be recovering themselves, since they can relate better and the clients can relate to them, although I have known excellent ones who were not.
I am not certified yet, but I am working in the field. In Richmond Va I make 29k as a substance abuse counselor. I am guessing that a certified counselor would make 32-35k.
Drug rehab counselors make around$30-$50k in Texas depending on their education, certifications, experience.
$200,000
50 Thousand too much!
Average Counselor Salary: $41000
I am myself a Vocational Rehab Counselor and when I started working in the field as graduate student in Rehabilitation Counseling, I was making 35k per year. After I graduated with my MSEd, I started making 45k. About a year after I graduated, I was offered a supervisory position and my salary is in the mid 50k. I believe that the average salary for a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor with a master degree is in the low to mid 40k. However, this is a small field and there are many managerial positions that pay a lot more. The field has been growing for the past decades as a result of the increasing number of people with disabilities in the area of warfare (veterans), chemical dependency (drug users) and various other disabilities that require some type of vocational rehabilitation. In addition, with HRA emphasis on getting recipients of public assistance back to work, the vocational rehabilitation field have been picking up steam. I would have to add that Vocational Rehab Counselors are in demand nowadays, considering that many of those hired as vocational counselors have not been properly trained to work with various disabilities.
The best thing for drug rehabilitation would be to have the guidance of a doctor, and a support group in your region. There are sites that have information on drug rehab, such as drug-rehabilitation dot com.

A licensed mental health counselor can maximize the salary by adding extra hours that are to be compensated for. The counselor may also choose to work extra days.
There are many types of doctors necessary to a drug rehabilitation unit. A rehabilitation unit would have counselors and Anesthesiologist at the very least to administer certain drugs.
