Document Summary
While in school she was encouraged to work in addictions and did a placement at homewood. There was an extensive out-patient program there which was a two week program based on education and group work. Started at stonehenge in 2003 where she was an addictions therapist for 5 years and then became the clinical director. Self-referred patients are called health clients. however, they also have clients coming from the correctional system that they must stay for the full 6 months of the contract. She has worked in the women"s and men"s centers as a therapist and found it was very different working with both genders. With men she found they needed you to draw out the issues whereas women always wanted more time to talk. As a clinical director she works more with policy. Housing was sometimes found to be a barrier for residents after they left so stonehenge has expanded into transitional housing.
