Getting a job in today’s economy is tough. Imagine trying to get a job in today’s economy if you have a history of drug addiction. It’s definitely not easy. However, if you’re clean and sober now and looking for work, there are some jobs out there for you.

The best jobs that you can get are the ones which will allow you to leverage your experience with drugs into a positive thing. For example, you could work in one of the Florida drug treatment centers. People who have experience with Florida drug treatment make great Florida drug rehab counselors. And if you’re not qualified to be a counselor, you could get a job as support staff.

Alternatively, look towards jobs that require only basic skills and which don’t require too much interaction with people. It’s sad but true that employers who are hiring for people-work positions (especially positions working with kids) are really wary of those applicants who have a drug history. In contrast, jobs working with computers are good options for people with this kind of history. Build up some credibility with those jobs and then you can move into a better position as time goes on and the economy improves.
