How to Become an Addiction Counselor With Prior Felony?
Question by ?grundle goat?: How to Become an Addiction Counselor with prior Felony?
my girlfriend was convicted for possession of meth 7 years ago. she did some time in prison and finished a 2 year treatment program for substance abuse. she has been clean and sober now over 6 years and currently works as a residential technician at a treatment facility. she very much wants to go back to school and become a certified counselor specializing in addiction issues. she has turned her life completely around and wants to invest all of her time and knowledge into helping other addicts find recovery. what are the steps she should take to become a drug and alcohol counselor? is there a specific course outline to become one?
thanks in advance.

How Does the US Compare to Other Countries in Stopping Drug Smuggling and Working on Drug Enforcement?
Question by NinjaBerrySharry: How does the US compare to other countries in stopping drug smuggling and working on drug enforcement?
I’m doing a research paper on the US government and drug abuse in America. I was just wondering if anyone knows if the U.S. has more problems with drug abuse than other countries? Are we more lenient with letting people get away with drug smuggling?
Best answer:
Answer by R, P, then B
Weak, in other countries, you get caught, you get killed, but the USA is a seive, our borders hemorage illegal aliens and drugs into our country every day, and our liberal politicians support it by not taking action against it.
