The role of counselling in drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a process for individuals who are addicted to alcohol and drugs. Counselling plays a vital role in the rehabilitation process for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.  Through a non-judgmental and empathetic approach, counsellors provide a supportive environment for individual to confront their addiction, identify underlying causes, and develop coping strategies for long-term recovery. Drug /alcohol addiction could be harmful drugs and abuse has eaten deep into the fabric of our society; our ever the effective counselling processes the problem can be trickled through campaign against drugs abuse by government and other relevant agencies. As a counsellor, you’ll communicate all of this information with them. You’ll use a combination of endearment and understanding but will also use your knowledge of addiction to give them a rational explanation of what they’re going through. Addiction counsellors are unlike traditional counselors. Addiction counsellors create a true bond and connection with their patients. An addict needs a backbone during recovery. This is where an addiction counselor comes in. They encourage their patients to stick with rehab and treatment. They let them know how wonderful they’re doing and the benefits a sober lifestyle will bring.
