Is There Such Thing as a “Weekend Pass” for a Drug Treatment Center?

Question by bradpast: Is there such thing as a “Weekend Pass” for a Drug Treatment Center?
My friend called me after spending a week and a half in a drug treatment center and he tells me that he is out for the weekend. He says they gave him a ‘Weekend Pass’ for having a month of sobriety, when I know for sure that he was using right before he left for the center… Trust him???

get your associates degree in drug/alchol counseling and then apply. You will have to submit to a background/fingerprint test, and usually a UA test as well. (a lot of community colleges offer that certificate and they are cheeap too!)
good luck!

Answer by bmac
You need to go to school for that. You need a major in psychology. Then you need to do some training at a facility. Then you have to be a certified counselor. It’s a difficult job.
