Substance abuse counseling is a specialized mental health practice focused on helping individuals overcome addiction to drugs, alcohol, or other substances through therapy, behavioral interventions, and relapse-prevention planning. Counselors in this field typically hold credentials such as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) license and work in settings like rehab facilities, hospitals, or private practice. The work often involves individual and group therapy sessions, crisis intervention, and coordination with medical and social support systems.
