Question by Popcorn: How to work with drug addicts?
I thought of working with drug addicts today, like how would I get to that position? What sort of jobs are available in rehab centers and drug treatment centers? What type of degrees would I need to get?

Best answer:

Answer by ThirtyEightSnub
Education Requirements for a job as a substance abuse counselor depend on the hiring agency. Some counselors have a high school diploma and
certification while others have a bachelor’s degree or
master’s degree. Since some of the best substance
abuse counselors are those who have overcome addiction themselves, this is one of the few jobs
where a degree from the school of hard knocks can
outweigh university schooling. Counselors with more
education will be trusted with less immediate
supervision and licensed counselors can provide
one-on-one counseling.

The effect of being an alcohol and drug counselor not in recovery is maybe no longer present of mind in such as bad mood, bastard, arrogant, friends and family conflict. they feel that he or she on the sky nor high, hopeless, alone in this world and also illnessess in many part their body. as early much better the family will influence him to quit and have a professional alcohol and drug treatment to avoid diagnos.
