If, alongside an addiction, you also have a felony it can be a huge source of worry about the future. Luckily having a felony does not exclude the possibility of getting on with your life, going to college or starting a career.
Obviously, the felony is going to stay on your records and this is going to cause a few obstacles. For some educational establishments it can mean they won’t admit you and it can exclude you from some of the financial assistance programs. However, there are still people out there who believe in second chances.
The first thing you can do is to make sure that you don’t slip back into addiction by getting the right kind of help. This will help open some of the doors for you in the future. There is actually a college program that provides introductions to college courses and helps with addiction treatment.
