Our contemporary view of addiction and treatment involves learning the skills needed to deal with this chronic condition. This includes career development. Our hope is to help clients gain a realistic understanding of what profession they are best suited for; and to receive professional coaching as they prepare to seek education for, and employment in, their stated career position(s) of choice.
Our goal is to have all career and educational resources readily available to clients to ensure they achieve maximum productivity during the time they spend in our program. Ultimately, we want to empower our clients to believe that they are capable of success in the career world. With the help of our treatment team, they can – and will – successfully launch their careers.
