Alcohol Treatment Program
Counselors should use appropriate treatment strategies when working with clients experiencing addictions. Selected interventions should be appropriate to the needs of the client and be grounded in a theoretical and/or empirical basis. Therefore, counselors should carefully develop assessment and treatment plans to help them gather information about the client's unique background characteristics and guide them in their work with these clients.
