Finding substance abuse treatment centers won’t take you too much time. Just the links below will get to help you out in your search. You can also get recommendations from doctors and healthcare providers. The problem here, though, is that treatment centers are usually very stringent about the privacy of their patients. You will probably have to settle with interviewing the therapists and counselors. Nevertheless, good luck!

Freshman in High School, I Want to Be a Psychologist?

Question by : Freshman in high school, I want to be a psychologist?
So I just started my freshman year at a vocational school in Massachusetts. I really really really want to be a psychologist when I grow up. So the first step to achieving my goal would be to pick the right shop for my high school career. But I don’t know what one to chose. My school does offer a psychology class as an elective, but I can’t take it until senior year. The actual shops that I’m considering the most so far are
Health Occupations, because it focuses on general medical. but I don’t know how relevant it would be to psychology. But it would be good background at least, right?
Child Education, because I would be working with actual people, learning how they learn. but that shop focuses on children up to only 7 years old. I want to work with teens and young adults, issues like drug addiction, you know, all the juicy stuff. (lol)
