I'm a social worker and I can tell you that if you're in it for the money, you are probably going to be disappointed. Regarding your question, there are a few things to consider. Do you speak more than one language? In some areas counselors with certain language skills do very well in a school counseling setting. Are you inclined to put out a shingle as a private therapist, or a therapist in a small practice? Possibly lucrative, but you will have to be brilliant and be willing to go some time while your name is becoming known. Do you anticipate moving to administration at some point? That might help in either field. I wish you the best.

What is the salary of a drug rehabilitation counselor?

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.
