Question by : Is there such thing as a drug psychologist?
I’m planning on taking psychology courses this spring, after I finish cosmetology classes, and hopefully begin working towards my masters. (woo!) I know there are different types, like child, family ect.. so I was just wondering if anyone knew about being a psychologist for people that have drug habits. Maybe like going to work in a rehab clinic. I’m sure this sounds ridiculous because I know this is a “real profession” but I never really hear people talking about doing it, but I was just wanting a few facts on the matter! so if anyone knows anything about becoming a psychologist and dealing with drugs, let me know please! I just think if this job is actually possible and I can take courses on people and drugs that this would be great, because I’ve experimented with both people and drugs lol! thanks
