What is a Counselor?
A counselor is a mental health professional who provides therapeutic support to individuals dealing with emotional, behavioral, or psychological issues. In addiction treatment, counselors help patients explore the underlying causes of their substance use, develop coping mechanisms, and create personalized recovery plans.
Counselors often use a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to help individuals achieve long-term sobriety and improve their overall mental health.
