Question by winona m: Can anyone recommend a good substance abuse treatment?
I have a teenage daughter who has been taking in drugs. This hurts me so much and I just want her to stop. I’ve been trying to convince her to undergo treatment, and I think she has finally learned to see my point. I just want to know what I should do.

That’s sad. I hope your daughter gets better soon. A good thing to do would be to bring her to an addiction treatment center. Substance abuse treatment programs nowadays include medication, counseling, and therapies that are scientifically modified. This will help your daughter gain back her life and help her deal with her problems.

I have a research paper due tomarrow and i am having problems finding a good title for my paper and need some help. the topic is about Prescription Drug Abuse and i can’t use that as my title.

Answer by Unknown
I would title it something like:
“Driven to stealing” or “Addicted to stealing” or “A Pharmacist’s nightmare” or “Willing to hold up a pharmacy”

As part of your research paper what would be really interesting is to go to local pharmacies and interview pharmacists if they have ever been held up.
I worked with pharmacists who had been held up. 1 person had a gun and the pharmacist saw it (they showed it to her) and the people were there to steal narcotic drugs that are locked up. One time the pharmacist was in the bathroom and a person held up a pharmacy and the pharm tech had to say “well you will have to wait until the pharmacy comes back from the bathroom” since they are the only ones who can open the safe.

You might hear some really interesting stories. They caught one of the robbers and the pharmacists I worked with had to go to court and testify against the man.

“CRACK IS WACK!” – Whitney Houston, a timeless classic.
Or “DONT SMOKE WEED KIDS”-Britney Spears, another classic.

Or Just show them a graphic slideshow of what drug users look like, then end it by saying something like you dont want to end up like this etc. etc.

Is getting a degree in psychology good if I want to go into substance abuse counseling?

Question by Lauren: Is getting a degree in psychology good if I want to go into substance abuse counseling?
I want to be an addictions counselor when I get older, however, would it be okay to get a degree in psychology and in graduate school get my masters in substance abuse counseling?

Best answer:

Answer by use another nickname
Yes, that would work. The only thing you couldn’t do is prescribe medicine, but you will be able to do therapy and psychoanalysis.

You may want to pursue a general psych masters instead, because you can do counseling with that, and leave more career doors open. Also, you might need a PhD for some of the higher end jobs in the field.

If they haven’t already, I’d find someone-experienced in documentary filmaking-to photo document the life of a teen drug addict. The subject(s) can graphically tell, without “sanitized” clean up, how messed up their lives have become, how hard each day is to fight the addiction….and also show a few who lose such battles.

Have the subject(s) make it clear to each student audience this COULD be them if they cross the line and use illegal addicting drugs.

Are you able to access a university library site? Journal articles are often very helpful and if you could use the library site you wouldn’t necessarily have to pay for the articles.
