Inpatient Drug Rehab in NYC/5 Boroughs?
Question by jej: Inpatient drug rehab in NYC/5 boroughs?
I have a friend who is ready to check into a rehab for his drug addiction, however, he is on methadone maintenance and does not want to quit it. I was told by a rehab center in NYC that no New York state inpatient program will accept a methadone patient if they are on more than 40 milligrams, then a mental health clinician told me that is not true. Does anyone know of an inpatient program in the 5 boroughs or Westchester County NY that will allow him to be maintained on methadone? I googled but could not find much. Thanks.
I Want to Be a Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, Help?
Question by Sheila K: I want to be a drug and alcohol counsellor, help?
I want to be a drug and alcohol counsellor and I have planned for a long time to take a drug and alcohol counsellor course at a college near where I live. It is a 2-year program with an optional transfer program to a university. Unfortunately, instead of the university program being psychology like I planned, its a bachelor of arts in criminal justice. Is there any way to do the drug and alcohol counsellor and a psychology program without having to do the full 4 years of university?

Is It Starting to Look Like Colin Kaepernick Is a Very Predictable Qb?
Question by Scott S: Is it starting to look like Colin kaepernick is a very predictable qb?
No doubt he’s a great athlete, but it seems like teams have him figured out. I watched the colts game and the colts defense seemed to know every move he was going to make and they looked like one of the best defenses in the league. Don’t forget that this is the same defense that made Tyrelle Prior look like an all-star. I never watched the game last week against Seattle but by looking at the stats I would imagine they had him figured out too. Maybe I’m wrong but from watching that colts game kaepernick doesn’t look like he will continue to be the “amazing” qb he’s been seen as.
@AC Stylin Come on though man, the colts? Seattle I understand but when you watch the colts get tossed around by Tyrelle Prior and the raiders, then watch them know colin kaepernicks every next move the 2 weeks later, it just doesn’t seem right
@steroid moe. Whenever Colin kaepernick left the pocket they always had someone pull off coverage and never give him any running room. I’ve never seen this done as affectingly to qbs like Michael Vick, cam newton, etc. And he obviously wasn’t finding anyone poem down field
@steroid moe. No matter what excuse you make Colin kaepernick did not look like a pro qb against a bottom 10 defense. Now the 49ers did have poor play calling by not running more when that was effective, but still not a good enough excuse to defend kaepernick. I agree with what far2sensible said, Colin kaepernick just seems too one dimensional. He doesn’t make the kind of plays that comparable qbs make.

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?
