Best College Degrees to Open Drug Rehab?

Question by Nacole: best college degrees to open drug rehab?
I have dreamed of opening a drug rehab for years. Half of my family and an ex are drug addicts, and it disgusts me how some rehabs are like spas and don’t actually teach them how to survive with their addiction and not use. (For the sake of getting to my point I will leave it at that) I am about to start my sophomore year in college and am trying to figure out the education I need to open my own drug rehabilitation center. Part of my demands it be nonprofit, but I will have to see which is ultimately best. I know I need business knowledge and addiction related knowledge. What I have come up with is majoring in sociology and minoring in psychology. Both only taking classes related to deviance, criminology , abnormal behavior, stuff like that. And take any prerequisites for business and then get masters in business administration (MBA).
Does this sound good? Would another route be better, if so what degrees? I would love if I could just go from a bachelors, but I don’t know. Any suggestions would be great, thanks. Please only serious answers. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Drug Addiction….?

Question by limon: Drug addiction….?
My brother, is probably the biggest addict I know, he has been most of his life. I know its a stuff thing for him to deal with, he smokes crack and drinks 99% cleaning alcohol. Its amazing how much power it has over him. He cries because it hurts him. He has been in and out of treatments, you name it, he has pulled through a few of the years, and also got married and has a children he is a wonderful husband.
Regarding addiction, you can get out of it, yet like my brother is drawn to it, its like some evil force. Can anyone shed some light on drug addiction, and pray my brother gets well.

Philippines Is Tore Back-From Addiction-Are We Wasting Our Time?

Question by Jeffry Helms: Philippines is Tore Back-from addiction-Are we wasting our time?
Every person I saw on photos etc.from typhoon are completely tore back with layered drug addictions. Toxic algae blooms produce gas that affect our weather and people that use put bad things in water that cause toxic algae blooms. Are the filipinos are going to sober up–are we just making a bad situation worse by helping them out–are the neighboring countries going to have more problems now with all this help? In america-I’ve seen some clean and sober filipinos but alot were in wannabe racketeering groups and foreign organized drug fronts etc .that caused great suffering in america–are we setting ourselves up for a fall.
“clncarplz” I waited to say something till after they had some kind of support–but YOU know and I know THERE TORE BACK BIG TIME , helping the filipinos will probably hurt more than help–ESPECIALLY them, china and korea has to “police” the area after the big junkie trash fecal blowout—-which costs millions of dollars just to keep their areas safe–IN FACT, they’ll have to drop this to a zoonotic conflict and outbreak from happening:
