A married couple has been seeing a marriage therapist for three months because they were often fighting with each other. The counselor determines that an addiction to alcohol is one of the main causes that triggers fights. Therefore, the therapist recommends that the couple should see another counselor. What kind of counselor would the marriage therapist most likely recommend?

Alcohol addiction is a substance use problem, so the couple would most likely benefit from a counselor who specializes in substance abuse. A substance abuse counselor can help address the addiction that is contributing to their fights. A rehabilitation counselor generally focuses on helping people adjust to disabilities or other barriers, rather than treating addiction specifically.
