What Is It Like Working at a Treatment Center?
Question by kscha925: What is it like working at a treatment center?
I might be getting a job at a residential treatment center for people 18+. It’s strictly for people with drug and alcohol violations, they aren’t supposed to have serious psych disorders, apparently. Also, it’s not really a rehab, it’s kinda like post-rehab. Anyway, the position is for a residential tech, like monitoring the place, and stuff. It is entry level, and I’m new to this, so I’m wondering what it might be like. Anyone have good experience? Bad experiences? What does the job usually entail? I know I won’t be doing counseling or anything.
