Job as Rehab Counselor / Qualifying as a Substance Abuse Professional?
Question by B!: Job as Rehab Counselor / Qualifying as a Substance Abuse Professional?
I’m a psychology major at school, going into my last leg of undergrad schooling. I’ve known for a long time that I want to work with drug abuse/rehabilitation (my brother is a recovered heroin addict), and I was curious:
What is required to get a job as a rehab counselor and is the pay alright? Are there any other jobs you can recommend for a psych student who wants to work in this field?
Also, what goes into qualifying as a substance abuse professional?

The most recent I could find for the US has the figures for 1997:
“A study shows that the U.S. spent a combined $ 11.9 billion on alcohol and drug abuse treatment, while the total social costs were more than $ 294 billion. The results were part of the National Estimates of Expenditures for Substance Abuse Treatment, 1997, which was released at the end of April by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
How to File a Case Against a Large Group of People?
Question by BusinessFreak: How to file a case against a large group of people?
I live in Bangladesh. I know a group which is quite famous for road rage, reckless driving, hooliganism, bullying, mobbing, alcohol and drug abuse, as well as street-fighting. How do I enable society to punish these wrong-doers and provide justice. Pleas note that our country has laws, but they are not well regulated, and I need to be anonymous.
