What type of things exactly does a substance abuse counselor discuss with a patient??


Question: It sounds like a job I would be interested in, but I don't understand exactly what they do. Examples would be helpful--thank you!
Answers: SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELORS WILL SPEAK TO THE CLIENT ABOUT HIS/HER FAMILY LIFE.. OR ANY ABUSE THEY MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED..THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT LEAD ONE TO ABUSE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.. FEELINGS OF INADEQUACY AND HOPELESSNESS.. LACK OF SELF ESTEEM..TO NAME A FEW..LOSS GRIEF.. THE INABILITY TO HANDLE THESE TYPES OF STRESSORS CAN LEAD TO AN ADDICTION.. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK ABOUT THE JOB THAT PEOPLE DO ... IT IS A GREAT PROFESSION TO GET INTO.. YOU COULD TAKE A COURSE ON ADDICTION.. AND MAYBE GET A BETTER IDEA ABOUT HOW THE DISEASE OF ALCOHOLISM OR DRUG ADDICTION REALLY WORKS... IT IS A VERY INTERESTING TOPIC.. AND YOU WOULD GET SOME SATISFACTION OUT OF BEING IN THIS FIELD... BECAUSE YOU REALLY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE.. YOU MIGHT BE THE ONE WHO ENDS UP GETTING THROUGH TO HIM OR HER AND THEY JUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO TURN THEIR LIFE AROUND... AND NOT WANT TO DIE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH!!!
depends on the program and counseling model. Why don;t you go to your local S.A. counseling service or rehab centre and ask for information about their program and training courses?
