A member asked:
Which type of education would i need to become an rn at a substance abuse detox facility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RN: Once you have attained a registered nursing degree specific training for certain areas in medicine is an ongoing learning experience through hands on training, seminar training, and specific continuing medical education. There is no specific number of years i can give you. Getting into the arena of addiction treatment is key.
