    I agree that this is a very noble career choice. I commend you on wanting to use your experience to help others. I would recommend that you do an online search for addiction treatment centers in your area as well as an extensive search of the phone book in the yellow pages section under alcoholism or addiction treatment centers. Then call a specific facility and arrange a meeting to discuss career opportunites Finally, I would recommend that you read everything that you can get your hands on in terms of books that deal with addiction. Education is key in learning all there is to know about addiction. Familarize yourself with the 12 step programs too. A.A, N.A and Al-anon provide extensive literature (for free) that outlines their programs. If you do a general on-line search, you can find links to their specific websites, with program outlines, meeting times and more! Good luck, and congrats on making such a positive choice that will surely benefit many!
