How much does a addiction counselor make?

Answer 1

With Bachelors Degree & licensed with state......under $40K (and that's being quite generous) With Masters....approx $10 more in same position....all depends on where working and what level. Can definitely be more (or less). Having said that, there are many more opportunities with a graduate degree, and you truly need it to get anywhere beyond a government funded agency, with a low salary and ridiculous caseload. I would highly encourage anyone pursuing any type of mental health degree, to obtain Bachelor's, find a good internship, and immediately wrap us your Masters. Master level therapists can do very well, I know several in private practice, with hospitals....etc., making $75-100K. This isn't a field I've ever known anyone in, who did so for the financial benefits.

Answer 2

Addiction therapists make from $30,000 to $75,000 per year (USD), depending on degrees, experience and the particular job. Psychiatrists specializing in addiction make much more, since they are also medical doctors.
