Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by youngguy92: Looking to volunteer at a drug and alcohol treatment/rehabilitation clinic?
I am looking for some drug and alcohol treatment centers in California to volunteer for. First I am 19 going into my second year of college and want to volunteer at one because I am very interested in the field and guiding my way in that direction. The issue is I am having a hard time finding treatment centers in California (actually in southern California). I have been searching the internet for a while and all I can find are outpatient clinics. Thanks for the help!

I’ve never heard of a resident treatment center involving volunteers – it’s so much investment in training that it’s just not worth it to spend that on a volunteer who will only be around for a few months.

I am planning to major in Psychology when I transfer and then when I’m done, apply for School Counseling (Grad School). I was given some advice in calling some youth centers, schools, etc and try to find volunteer work. There’s just so many different thing to help in, where would I look into for School Counseling? Would any be beneficial? There’s drug and alcohol abuse, job counseling, education (tutoring etc) all sorts. Any suggestions or advice?
