Why addiction studies?

With jobs expected to grow 23% over the next decade, drug and alcohol counseling is among the fastest growing careers in the United States.* While job security is a great benefit, what really calls addiction counselors to their profession is a passion for helping others and giving back.

Perhaps you have a loved one who is struggling with a substance use disorder, or you have experienced the devastating impact of addiction on families and communities. Maybe you are in recovery yourself and know first-hand the power of counseling to transform and heal. There is no more crucial and fulfilling work you can choose —addiction counseling is truly an opportunity to save lives.
