Question by slsmd85: working in a drug rehabilitation center?
how does a person go about working in a drug rehab center? Do you have to have some sort of license or certification? Also what positions are there in rehab centers?

Best answer:

Answer by jannsody
Most counselors that work in drug and alcohol treatment programs have passed a certification examination to become a certified addictions counselor (CAC) and/or certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC). Even though some training programs may be two years long for an associate degree, I believe that one may need a bachelor’s degree or even a master’s degree (such as in social work) to possibly get a job in the field. In addition to classroom lectures, the person will need extensive clinical experience in the field with an actual patient caseload under supervision before one is eligible to take the examination.

Here is the website for the Association for Addiction Professionals: http://www.naadac.org and can click ‘state affiliates’ as each state may have its own requirements.

Please make sure that the program is accredited within the industry. The aforementioned site should have accredited programs.

For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search ‘counselors’, ‘social workers’ or such.

With schooling, please also steer clear of those online, for-profit schools (may have ‘bricks and mortar’ buildings and may be ‘accredited’) such as penn foster, devry, ITT tech, capella, university of phoenix, kaplan, ashford, walden, argosy, sanford brown, everest, strayer, ashworth, remington, excelsior, colorado tech and others as they are merely out to ‘make a profit’ (and course credits may Not transfer): http://www.ripoffreport.com and can type into search.

Unfortunately it will depend on the judge if you go to jail or not. You have done everything in your power to get yourself together and maybe the judge will see that.

Good Luck

Question by shawnshawn: Where do i find out about how to open a drug rehabilitation center in NYC?

Answer by picassogone
Here is how William Benitez started his in NYC…if you go to this site, you can ask them how you can open up a drug rehab, or at least start you in the right direction. I hope this helps. (At the bottom is a site that can help you get started on having your own drug rehab center.)

How did the Narconon program start?
Narconon was founded in 1966 by William Benitez, a heroin addict who was incarcerated in the Arizona State Prison for a long series of drug-related crimes. Benitez wanted to resolve his addiction and through his personal research into workable techniques to kick drugs ran into a book called Fundamentals of Thought, written by American author and humanitarian L.Ron Hubbard. Benitez was able to glean principals out these writings by Mr. Hubbard to improve his ability to communicate about, face up to, and resolve basic life problems that had contributed to his drug addiction and held it in place for many years. Impressed with the effectiveness of this information as it related to drug addiction, Benitez formed an alliance with Mr. Hubbard and developed a workable drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that would free people from drug addiction without the use of substitute drugs or medications. Benitez formed the Narconon organization and Mr. Hubbard continued and shared his research and developments in the drug rehab field. Narconon now has over 30 drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in 11 different countries.

strange that you would ask specifically for a “co-ed” drug rehabilitation center, are you looking to start a relationship or just have some fun while in the drug rehab treatment center? lol

I am just teasing you! I would suggest you look into http://www.stgregorycrt.com they offer all male drug rehab centers, all female drug rehabilitation centers and coed drug rehab in iowa.

They are a 12 step alternative in iowa also, so it looks like you are set!

Be careful, You have the face of a real lady’s man, be gentle with them, lol

Good luck!
