This program by the National Institues of Health features narratives of seven women recovering from problems with alcohol. These stories make it ...

You would need to get a Master in Psychology to do some counseling. Then after you graduate and put in your hours of fieldwork, you will become a certified counselor. In the meantime, while completing your college coursework, you should try to volunteer at a rape crisis center, or safe-house. The more you are around the situation, the more prepared you will be. Also take some Women's studies classes and check out the Woman's resource center at your university. There are also some great clubs you can join. And last, but not least see your Academic Adviser/Counselor. They can give a solid game plan.

It's great to hear that a woman ends up getting their children back after she's no longer on drugs or alcohol. The best thing children could have are their mother or father. My question is what do you have to regain custody of your children once you get your life together. I am not on drugs or alcohol, but I see so many woman who are not any addiction lose their children because of abuse (by the husband) or depression. Why is that so? And what can she do to regain custody? Everyone goes through some ups and downs in life.

Judges want families together. If a parent can prove they have cleaned up their act, they deserve the chance to act right. Otherwise, why change at all if there is no forgiveness from anyone?
Most have to enroll in parenting classes and attend counseling, such as AA, NA, etc. Lots of people fall down. They deserve a chance if they can get back up on their own feet through sheer determination. However, they may have to continue jumping through the hoops for a while to prove they have straightened up. I think this is fair.

This would be in Boston, MA. A friend of mine would like to start a recovery home for women. She has a lot of experience in the field of alcohol and drug addiction but has not had any certification in the field. Thanks for your help.

On first thought I was thinking she don't have to get any certification but license to run that type of business and start accepting the women.
Maybe she could get something in the field of Social Work, Human Services, Psychology or Rehabilitation.
