I think it would be hard to get an interview with patients at substance abuse treatment centers because I’ve heard that they’re really strict with regard to their privacy rules. You might want to settle for interviewing just the therapists and counselors. To find the treatment centers, you can use the links below. You can also call your local health services administration to get more information.

I don’t think substance abuse treatment centers will allow you to talk to the patients as they are really strict regarding the implementation of their privacy rules. I think you can interview the counselors and therapists, though. You can still get a lot of information that way. 🙂

Any Ideas for a Title for a College Research Paper?

Question by M R: Any ideas for a title for a college research paper?
I am researching the effects of prescription drug abuse on pain management programs in the United States. The possible conclusion to my paper indicates that the stigma of drug addiction prevents chronic pain patients from utilizing proper resources (like a controlled program, other treatment options) thus putting them at risk for developing an addiction (whether it is alcohol/analgesic/narcotic dependency). I need to conduct more research but I need to submit a paper proposal…. and I need a title! Suggestions would be appreciated.

I have included links below that you can check out. One has a list of centers affiliated with Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association. As far as I know, they can give grants to those who need it. You should call those centers and ask around. I hope you find a treatment center soon, and that your brother recovers form his addiction.
