Addiction counselors work to improve people’s lives by identifying and treating the effects of
substance abuse disorders. Addiction counselors may work with people from the general
public or they may specialize in specific populations, such as gender specific, persons
involved in the criminal justice system, families, LGBTQIA, veterans and the opioid overuse
epidemic. This course will provide a more in depth overview of the diverse populations in the
addiction treatment realm.
