Counselor magazine
Counselor, the Magazine for Addiction Professionals, is a national, peer-reviewed publication that blends the in-depth information often found in journals with the ease-of-read and style of a magazine.

The bi-monthly publication (February, April, June, August, October, and December) features in-depth articles written by the top experts in the addiction treatment field. In addition, each issue of Counselor features several columns – On the Web, Research to Practice, Professional Development and, Alternative Therapies – that deliver practical and useful advice to addiction professionals.
