I grew up in a divorced house hold. I suffered chronic kideny stones. I struggled with substance use disorder. I have a younger brother with personality disorder who also suffered substance use disorder. That woke me up because he is so much younger than I. I wanted to help him. I also have younger step brother that has autism. i have 5 brothers total. My biological brother suffered chronic kidneys as well but I was the oldest and was able to make sure he didn't go down the same path as I took. I encouraged him to go into the military and he is now a Lowell police officer. I'm very proud of him. Family is very important to me.
. Assessed clients needs ,seeing where their attitudes were at. If they needed anything or just to talk one on one.
.A lot of times clients struggled with missing home and wanting to use substances. I would talk them down, redirect their thinking towards the positive outlook.
.Made sure clients followed house rules including curfew,no arguing ,threatening,or violent behavior toward anyone including staff.
.I immediately intervened to find a solution to the problem by separating individuals. I have had to call appropriate authorities do to violence.
. Did room checks every hour to ensure all clients were home in bed.
