I Need to Know About Requirements to Work in a Drug Rehab Center?

Question by Ms. Reaves: I need to know about requirements to work in a drug rehab center?
Because of a friend’s drug addiction, I have recently decided to have a career in a drug rehabilitation.

I’ve wanted to be an RN for a while, but I’m sure there are other requirements to work with patients in drug rehab centers.

If you know of any links or have any advice, please let me know.
