Question by Somebody: Do I have to study specifically something to be an addiction worker?
I’m graduating soon and I really want to help people with drug addiction but I don’t know if I have to go to a college where they teach specifically those things. Does it really matter if I’ll go to a college and then I’ll be a nurse and so on…Can I still work as an addiction worker? I live in California and I don’t know about any specific colleges near me. I searched the internet too

It can help just to read some books on alcoholism, eating disorders, drug addiction, excessive spending, smoking. They may have a course at the College – but I have never seen one seperate class for addictions. I think it is what one learns in college when taking classes for social work (Bachelors in Social Work; Masters in Social Work) – it is probably in the cirrculum.
