Substance Abuse Treatment Question From a Nonabuser?

Question by fpm: substance abuse treatment question from a nonabuser?
I’m considering a career in substance abuse education, treatment, and prevention. I have just recently seen an episode on meth addicts and it basically painted a bleak picture for them. Some that are recovering or “rehabilitated” still fight the urges to go back to their habits on a daily basis and my question is this: even in this day and age with drug rehab clinics and focused attention on drug addiction is there really an effective program for those suffering? I don’t know anyone personally who has suffered just curious about this.

You don’t need personal experience to help other who chose to drink and drug you will have an education so you will be knowledgeable to help treat these people better yet you can also inspire addicts to change there lifestyle to also educate other addicts
