What Type of Qualifications Do I Need to Work at an Addiction Rehab Centre?

Question by Kait 😀: What type of qualifications do I need to work at an addiction rehab centre?
I’m currently in the process of getting my BA-H in Psychology. I want to be a counselor in an addiction center. Not the person dealing with any medicine/ drug withdrawl or biological issues, more on the psychotherapy end of the spectrum. Finding out what happened, why it happened and how to help them get better.

Do I need to become a psychologists (PhD) Or can I do this with a master in clinical psych/ counseling psych, Master of Social Work?

Does Life Ever Get Better?

Question by melinda: Does life ever get better?
hi, I’m recovering from a drug addiction about a little over two weeks clean at the moment and I’m doing it on my own. And I don’t feel life is worth living, I mean does it ever get better? I feel like I’m in a black hole and the light is getting further and further out of reach.

Coffee is NOT that important. I think it’s ridiculous! They have more than enough stores – for example, Chicago and NY: you can’t walk 5 city blocks without finding at least THREE or more Starbucks stores. I think it’s insanity. Do you think it’s time they closed, or are you sad?
