America-along with many other industrialized nations-face numerous obstacles in dealing with substance abusers attempting to function normally in society. The need for Substance Abuse Counselors and Addiction Specialists are growing considerably, not just because of emerging younger addicts, but also because of older adults who have adopted errant behaviors conducive to compulsive drinking and drug use.
There are literally thousands of employment vacancies for drug and alcohol counselors, as well for specialists working with gambling, smoking cessation, and dual diagnosis addictive disorders. Check out the following job page for a preview of opportunities.

That? fucking GBush fucked you guys up. Nobody else!!! If you see that mfucker. Tell him to go fuck himself and his fucking family….
i? thought this was russian television
It isnt Iraq Iran North Korea or whatver other “boogeyman” that US corrupt elites will create next to enslave us all? the true Axis of evil is US. How a society that treat his veterans like cattle can be a good function human society?
I have been paying bill while in the Navy, thanks to technology I have been about to so. But I was a man? when I went in and I am man once I left. I did handle my addiction and that help so much. I realize the world is backwards and it is not an institution like the military, that hurts. Go back to school get a degree and continue to help the world, Vets. Bless
Vets have got to realize its not there country anymore it never was and never will be they did not sign up to serve this country its people or the ideas? that it was founded on. Our military was sold a big big lie and they all bought it hook line and sinker. The thought they were going to do a good thing they just made the rich richer and gave them more control over the worlds natural resources and enslaving humanity. Military men are just a natural resource to be used and discarded at will.
at about 1:30 the girl got it right. Civilian life is a culture shock. The army and the VA is stretched. Their needs to be a program within the services to make sure the? vet is ready to leave. And to check up on them. I’m not saying give money but encouragement and assistance.
@DieForTheRich,Hey man. Don’t be a selfish asshole by saying that because the majority of these veterans come from poor neighborhoods and in the past they were drafted but now they send recruiters to these poor high schools and made them go because they know they’re poor and also know that they don’t want to work in the factories? for the rest of their lives and wants to do better and they advantage of that by recruiting.
fuck? them..They asked for it.
@dave777blaster,Also you forgot to mention the war in Vietnam. After WWII,it marked the beginning of the fall of the US Military power that they had in? the 2 World Wars. Also you forgot to mentioned the War of 1812.
@UNTC321,YOU IGNORANT RICH PIECE? OF SHIT!!! It’s ok to talk like that when a rich asshole like you who their daddies buys them out of the army to not fight in the war.
PLEASE HELP THESE VETS! THEY NEED IT MAN!?
How can you compare american citizens who join the military with the intention of protecting it’s citizens and liberties with people who slaughtered multitudes in the name of ethnic cleansing. Yes civilians have died in the “war on terrorism” but that is the nature of war it may not? be pretty but that is the way of things. It is an ugly despicable thing there is no question about it. Just keep in mind if it weren’t these people volunteering it would be your sorry ass drafted.
The U.S. did 911. The invasions are illegal. From the Nuremberg Trials we know following orders is no excuse. By definition the troops are? WAR CRIMINALS. It can’t be argued otherwise. The Entire Govt. if full of WAR CRIMINALS.
You are ignorant to say such a hateful thing about the troops. Despite the motives of the people in power the soldiers serve their country for the right reasons and you should be ashamed of yourself for making such an unintelligent hateful comment. Especially when you’re obviously too much of a fucktard coward to serve? yourself.
