      <image:title>Adult Counseling - How do I know if my substance abuse counselor is right for me?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Finding a substance abuse counselor is the first step towards recovery, but finding the right one requires 5 key elements: They need to have training, credentials, and experience. When you enter their office, they should ensure you feel welcomed and relaxed. They should make you feel confident about your recovery. They should create an individual care plan just for you. They should answer your questions with a willingness to help.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Adult Counseling - What questions do I ask my substance abuse counselor?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Interviewing a prospective substance abuse counselor is a must! Lasting, effective healing depends on both the patient’s ability to openly and accurately express their needs as well as the substance abuse counselor’s ability to connect with their patient and properly create a care plan that meets these individual, complex needs. Questions you can take with you: What treatment options do you offer, can you explain them to me? Do you offer individual or group sessions, or both? What training or experience do your counselors have and what are your requirements for continuing education? Will you be able to incorporate my spiritual/religious beliefs into my substance abuse counseling? Do you believe substance abuse is a disease or a choice? How much input do I have in my treatment plan? Will you work with my care team, which may include other doctors and specialists? Will you be respectfully direct while also letting me speak freely without judgment?</image:caption>
