Full Job Description

Job Title:

Counselor

Reports to:

Clinical Director

Scope and Job Purpose

A Counselor is a trained professional who helps individuals struggling with substance use issues, such as alcohol or drug addiction. The counselor provides support, guidance, and therapeutic interventions to help clients recover from addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and improve their overall quality of life.

Direct Care

The counselor supports individuals in achieving and maintaining sobriety, helping them navigate the challenges of withdrawal, cravings, and the pressures of everyday life without turning to substances.

Beyond addiction, the counselor works on improving the overall mental health of clients, addressing underlying issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, which may contribute to substance abuse.

By providing tools and strategies for coping with stress, emotions, and life situations, the counselor empowers clients to make healthier choices and develop a more resilient mindset for long-term recovery.

Counselors often involve family members in therapy to educate them about addiction, its effects, and how they can provide better support for their loved one’s recovery. They also work to strengthen the social support network of the client.

By providing early intervention and treatment, counselors help prevent the escalation of addiction issues, minimizing the long-term impact of substance abuse on the client’s health, relationships, and well-being.

A significant part of the counselor’s job is to advocate for recovery within the healthcare system, ensuring clients have access to the resources, services, and treatments they need to recover and maintain a healthy life.
