CALIMESA - The job market might be tight in some occupations, but that's not the case for certified drug and alcohol counselors said Dr. Mike Belzman.

The U.S. Department of Justice seems to support Belzman's contention that the need for counselors - at least in the near future - will continue to rise.

A Justice Dept. survey done in 2007 reveals that 44.4% of high school seniors will use alcohol in any 30-day period. And the figure jumps to over 66% in any 12-month period.

Factoring in the use of illegal drugs and the rising abuse of prescription drugs, and it becomes clear that more counselors will be needed to aid those wishing to free themselves of addiction.
