Inpatient Drug Rehabs?
Question by Daeris819: Inpatient Drug Rehabs?
My friend is in need of one of these places, but I don’t think she’ll do the work to find one.
Can anyone give me information on how to find a nearby inpatient drug rehab? Any websites?
Best answer:
Answer by Niki
This is the best website I have found. My brother-in-law (who is a drug and alcohol counselor) uses it to find rehab facilities for patients in need. It’s a government website, so it’s reliable.

I have been to rehab and know how difficult it is to have others convince you that you are in need. If you have any questions or just feel like you need some advice from someone who has been there, please don’t be afraid to ask… I would do anything to help anyone get out of the situation that I was in. I hope things go well with your friend =)

Answer by ReggieR
It depends on how far in school you want to go and where you live. I live in Missouri, and I have my Masters Degree in Counseling and undergrad in Social Work. I started out as a caseworker with the critically mentally ill. I later went into substance abuse counseling for 16 yrs. and then went into co occurring disorders. For the past 8 yrs almost I have been a parole officer with a specialized case of women that are co occurring disorder. If you would like to email me for more info feel free Also salary depends on private sector or state. That also has a lot to do with job security. God Bless Reggie
