Looking to Volunteer at a Drug and Alcohol Treatment/rehabilitation Clinic?

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.
