I’m Planning to Move to Charlotte, NC and Am Seeking a Job?

Question by bairdo3: I’m planning to move to Charlotte, NC and am seeking a job?
I’m planning to move to Charlotte, NC in the next few months and am seeking a job? I am interested in a position as a Residential Counselor at a treatment center. Possibly at a youth drug rehabilitation center, as I have first hand experience and knowledge in the field of recovery. I also have experience in drywall and remodelling work and am a very fast learner at what I don’t know. Help? Thanks!!!!

Medical-Addiction Question?

Question by Brett H: Medical-addiction Question?
Hey, I’m 26 and have been reliant upon opiates since I was 18. Finally, at 23 and after months of fatigue/sickness, countless attempts at anti-depressants, treatment centers, counseling, and psychiatrists, I began methadone at the Southern Indiana Treatment Center. At first I felt much better, but rather than decrease the dose my levels were increased to “find me a stable dose where I feel semi-normal.”. Needless to say I am now on 110 mg of methadone once daily. I still feel crappy half the time and have started realizing that my body, with the way it metabolizes medicine so quickly, may never be OK without it. The peak-and-trough blood serum test suggests my body needs 140. Should I accept the fact that my body will always need opiates? Anyone have any suggestions?
