Job Duties

Addictions Counselor Assistants, in general, serve as a member of a multidisciplinary clinical treatment team providing a therapy program tailored to the individual needs of patients in an Addictions Treatment Center (ATC). Under the supervision of professional clinicians, they serve as a secondary therapist for groups of patients in one or more of the component units of a treatment center; assist in the delivery of a comprehensive rehabilitation program through consultation with team members; and assist in individual and group counseling of patients, discharge planning, and community involvement. Because an ATC is typically a small facility, employing approximately 25 to 100 staff, Addictions Counselor Assistants are responsible for augmenting services provided by other treatment team members; for example, supervising a scheduled recreational outing in the absence of a Recreation Therapist and leading an established therapy group in the absence of an Addictions Counselor.

The level of the titles within this career ladder vary based on the level of supervision, complexity of the duties involved, degree of independent judgment, etc.
