What was the most common substance abused by clients coming into the drug rehab program?
Alcohol was by far the most common substance abused.
As a drug rehab program counselor, what did your duties consist of?
I was responsible for running group therapy sessions, meeting with clients 1 on 1, monitoring client’s behavior, as well as logging daily treatment notes for clients.
What kinds of things were discussed in the group therapy sessions?
Relapse prevention, having fun in sobriety, and drug rehab after care plans.
What was the goal of 1 on 1 sessions with the clients?
To discover what psychological and emotional issues may have brought on drug and/or alcohol dependence and ultimately what landed them in the drug rehab program.
Would you say that most of the people that come to a drug rehab program want to be there?
Yes. Some of them are forced to go to the drug rehab program by family and loved ones; however most of them are there on their own accord.
What would you say the success rate is of people staying sober after leaving the drug rehab program?
Those who actually implement and follow the drug rehab program after care plan will almost all stay sober. The problem is that most of the people do not follow through with the plan after they get out of the drug rehab program.

Keep an open mind and be willing to follow the direction of the Drug rehab program staff.
