Do you know how much a substance abuse counselor makes?


settle an argument in our house please.

Around $32,000 a year, depending on what part of the country you live in...That's about what they make in Arizona.

And in response to Amanda, below....if you are a substance abuse counselor, then you probably don't have a doctorate, and are not making anywhere near $70,000, no matter what part of the country you live in.

There are many different websites that offer this information. It depends on where you plan to work, amount of education and experience you bring to the interview. I added one link that could start answering your question. I would also considering calling a local university academic counselor to ask them the average starting salary for new grads.

Good Luck

It depends on your level of education and you level of certification. Some people have bachelors, masters, or even doctorates. Salaries range from $30k - 70k.

I believe it depends on the state you live in and how far you went in your degree. I also found this website you can check out. http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=...
