Summary

Proven Substance Abuse Tech from The Commitment House, adept in motivational interviewing and client advocacy, significantly reduced relapse rates through innovative treatment plans. Skilled in fostering community engagement and coordinating care, demonstrating exceptional interpersonal skills and a commitment to recovery success. My background and lack of employment is due to my own personal struggle with addiction. I have since taken full legal accountability and personal accountability with my life, and given the chance at employment with your Company, I can show you that Recovery is possible and my past is not who I am today.
