rehab counselor
Addiction treatment professional
A rehab counselor is a professional who helps people recovering from addiction to drugs or alcohol.
They provide guidance, support, and therapeutic interventions to clients in treatment facilities, outpatient programs, or private practice: My rehab counselor helped me understand my triggers.
The role combines elements of therapy, case management, and accountability—checking on progress, leading group sessions, and helping clients develop coping strategies for life after treatment.
