Substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors have become critical allies in the fight to prevent and treat addictions to alcohol, tobacco and other harmful drugs. And recognizing the importance of these professionals, employers in the state of Oregon have responded accordingly. Oregon ranks within the top five states of having the highest concentration of substance abuse counselors for every 1,000 Oregon residents, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In addition to substance abuse, these counselors focus on other addictive problems as well, such as gambling and eating disorders. They also develop and implement prevention programs, a critical function for all counselors working in Oregon. Mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists also provide essential services for Oregon's residents. They are skilled at developing preventive practices and programs that help people maintain the delicate balance between emotional and physical health. Schools also recognize that educating kids on healthy social and emotional behaviors prevents future problems. This also makes school counselors important advocates for the emotional health of state's residents as well.
