Question by ashely lc: I need to find addiction treatment centers in Manteca, California. How?
I want to do this because I have lost people to drugs and alcohol. For a time, I was consumed by my hatred for those substances. Then I realized that I shouldn’t be angry. I should be doing something to curb the spreading of drug and alcohol addiction. This is why I want to find addiction treatment centers. I’d like to become an addiction counselor to help other people.

The world certainly needs more people like you. I’m glad that you want to do this. Do you have a background in psychology? That would really help, although I think they would require you to take up a program first regarding addiction counseling.

The links below will help you in finding addiction treatment centers. I do hope that you get to reach your goal. Good luck!
