Answer by cori cb
I think it would be hard to get an interview with patients at substance abuse treatment centers because I’ve heard that they’re really strict with regard to their privacy rules. You might want to settle for interviewing just the therapists and counselors. To find the treatment centers, you can use the links below. You can also call your local health services administration to get more information.
