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?

I do agree, ok, Methadone is addictive, for sure, but I know methadone addicts who work, are healthy, and are functioning well….and methadone helps them. You would never know they were on? Methadone, there is no way of telling, apart from the small pupils of the eyes.
hmmm oh really?
It is a very sad thing that Methadone remains illegal in Russia, many more Heroin addicts would be cured if they knew they had the option of a Methadone detox instead of the agony of going cold turkey, and going through severe Opiate withdrawal. Many people view? Methadona as drug replacement, but it is not, it is a way of weening the addict off of Opiates in a controlled clinical environment. Going cold turkey is very stressful and damaging to the body. I hope Russia wakes up soon to approve it
