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.

Can recovering drug addicts get life insurance coverage?

Yes, it may be possible for recovering drug addicts to get life insurance coverage. It depends on which company you request coverage from and what their underwriting guidelines are for approval. Some life insurance companies offer coverage for high risk individuals, and specialize in finding coverage for people with health problems or addictions. One way to find out is to compare plans and quotes from a leading life insurance quoting network online. They may provide you with free quotes at no obligation to you.


Are recovering addicts more effective addiction counselors?

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.

Why do drug addicted person find their ways to hurt others physically?

Drug addicts have no self respect, no or low morals & values.Therefore they have no conscience when it comes to hurting others physically or mentally. They are always looking for the next high & are always chasing the first high. However they never can achieve that first high so they continue trying to get it even though they will never get it. The body then in turn builds a tolerance for the drug. Drug addicts are great manipulators & always blame everyone & everything for their problems. If you are being hurt physically by a drug addict even though it is someone you love YOU MUST GET OUT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP! Normally drug addicts hurt the ones closest to them first & then move on to others. Drug addicts can very easily steal a pocketbook from an old lady or hit someone over the head in a robbery & think nothing of it due to their mental status. When the brain is under the influence their brain does nothing but think where am I getting the next one & who do I have to hurt to get it. Try the Big Book of AA or NA & read through it to understand what someone is like & also it will help you in understanding your role in the addicts life(enabler). I hope I helped since I have been sober & have been a drug addict & lived both lives. Sober is definitely better!!!!!!
