Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client. Professional counselors help clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behavior change and optimal mental health. (counseling.org) More specifically, a drug abuse counselor works with the drug user in a therapy setting. His or her purpose is to find the root of the addiction and help patients progress into sobriety. Depending on the underlying cause of the addiction discovered, the counselor develops an individual treatment plan for each patient. To help their patients work past the addiction, counselors educate them about addiction and teach them how to move on through life without substance abuse. The main goal of a drug abuse counselor is to guide the drug abuser into sobriety through counseling. (drugabuse.com)
When you first meet your substance abuse counselor, he or she will discuss with you your addiction as well as your past. The counselor will attempt to get to know who you are and what may have caused the substance abuse. Through treatment, he or she will discover the most suitable way to lead you into a sober living lifestyle, with each meeting fine-tuning their plan of recovery. A drug abuse counselor will help you identify your addiction-related behavior patterns and help you confront behavioral and emotional issues that may be hindering your progress. Some sessions will be easier than others, but with each session comes more progress. (drugabuse.com)
