What is an Addictions Counselor?

An addictions counselor is the support system to help you recover from a number of varying addictions. The first thing that may come to mind is alcohol addiction, but they can also assist with eating disorders, drug addiction, gambling addiction, and other behavioral issues. Dealing with addiction is no easy issue, and neither is trusting a stranger to help you through the rocky road of addiction. However, addiction counselors do their best to forget that therapeutic bond. Greater Essex Counseling Services offers programs for substance abuse and more.
