not much if you work in the city....my partner is a drug and alcohol counsellor working in a government agency above the 26 parallell in western australia....he and the other Pilbara counsellors are the highest paid in the state after 3.5 years of fighting a reclassification through the union..if he was to go back to the city he would have to take a 30,000 pay cut.....and they want a university degree...several years of counselling experience etc...
cheers ps..he does it cause he loves it..not for the money.Like (2)

Here is some info I found for you:
http://www.latimes.com/classified/jobs/counselor/2001/la-102601counselor-counsel,0,6249192.htmlstory?coll=la-jobs-counselor-2001
This is old info (2001), but better than no info! :-)
Try contacting a local university career counselor as well. They will have more up to date information for you.
I hope it all goes well! :-)Like (2)

Not sure the salary, but I know you would need a master's degree to counsel anyone. You could do it with an MSW (Master of Social Work) with a concentration in alcohol and substance abuse. You would also need to be licensed (such as an LCSW).

Depends on the State. But it is not a big-money profession, and you need to be certified.

I'm not sure, but I relatively certain it is less than they deserve.

Enough to buy the booze, but not enough to buy the drugs.
