Can the Uninsured and Unemployed Go to Alcohol Rehab Too?

Question by : Can the uninsured and unemployed go to alcohol rehab too?
Ok, I am 20 years old now and I am no longer in denial of being an alcoholic. I realize it now. My life is so messed up and I want to change before things get even worse. The only problem is that now I am jobless again due to my alcoholism and I am close to broke. Do rehabs accept people with no insurance or a job even? Thank you…..

What’s the Difference Between Psychiatry and Criminal Psychology?

Question by Max: What’s the difference between psychiatry and criminal psychology?

Best answer:

Answer by Mark
Psychiatry deals with diagnosis and treatment of medical, biological brain-disorders. While there is also some overlap with Psychology, it deals with behavioral issues much more from a medical standpoint – treating problems with proper medications, counseling, educating the sufferer on how best to manage their disease.

Criminal Psychology deals more with a specific type of abnormal psychology: anti-social personality disorders, criminal thinking errors, deviant motivations etc. It focuses more on defects of character being the root cause of the criminal behavior than it does on the medical aspects. There is also some overlap in the treatment of criminal offenders with Psychiatry, as many people who have commit crimes also suffer from a variety of Psychiatric ailments.
