Drug addiction is very much a matter of the person's psychology/personality. Do -some- drug addicts start with marijuana? Yes, but do all marijuana users become drug addicts? No. Trying to get an unbiased answer to this question is going to be very difficult.
No. No matter how bad your life is, sharing it with more drug addicts will not make it any better.
Look for your local vocational rehabilitation office, which is usually within the state employment office. They have programs to help recovering addicts get job training and placement. The easiest thing to do is apply for a job like anyone else. A recovering addict is just like anyone else, just don't apply for jobs that are known to have employees that are active addicts in the work staff.

Most drug addicts who attempts to abstain from using drugs for a long time have the tendency to craving drugs. Usually addicts who become bored on their drug treatment programs have the tendency to go back in usual ways and quit from rehabilitation. It is important for a recovering addict to have a drug program that can bring him relapse prevention.
They can be weary to treating a drug addict because of the fact that sometimes drug addicts don't listen to the doctor, and they are usually just trying to get more drugs and are lying about their conditions.
Addiction councilors who are also in recovery find it easier to put themselves in their clients place by drawing on their memories of themselves at that stage in their own recovery. Addicts more often trust addiction counselors who are recovering because they see the counselor as someone who has "been there" and can see it is possible to have a better life themselves by seeing the counselor as an example. AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drug addicts acquire the disease from shared needles.
