New Life Community Services

10.2021 - 12.2021
- I worked as an On-Site Manager at an in-patient rehabilitation center for those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. My responsibilities included general surveillance, rule enforcement, conducting urine tests, dispensing medication, upholding OSHA and HIPAA guidelines, empathizing and conversing with clients, occasionally organizing and conducting group therapy sessions, as well as discharging clients. Essentially, I managed about 30-40 clients at a time, and was the person they came to with any issues, questions, feelings, or needs. This job taught me a lot about the power of empathy as well as the importance of setting boundaries in order to maximize the experience of both the worker and the client.
