It’s pretty easy to find addiction treatment centers. The links that I have included below can help you. I don’t think that you can interview the patients, though. Addiction treatment centers can be really strict when it comes to the privacy of the patients. You might have to settle for interviewing the therapists and counselors. You can also get a lot of information from the Internet or join a forum that happens to be a support network for once-addicts or those who are addicts.
