Gifts for Drug Abuse Counselors

Picking a gift for a drug abuse counselor

Drug abuse counselors spend their days in recovery groups, intake interviews and crisis calls, often working long hours for modest pay because they believe in the people they serve. A gift for them should acknowledge that work without making it sound like a sad story. Most counselors are proud of what they do and a little tired of being asked how they handle it. A tee or hoodie with their role on it gives them something to wear on the days they need a reminder of why they chose this field. The mug is a good fit for the early morning before the first session, when the coffee is doing most of the work. Add their name in the second line so it feels like theirs and not a generic work shirt. Many counselors are in recovery themselves or have family members who were, so a plain, supportive design often lands better than anything jokey. Choose the product that matches how they dress for work, and let the design say what they already know about themselves.
