Your work will primarily focus on clients undergoing detoxification and those affected by substance use disorders. You will provide critical support to help clients transition through recovery, emphasizing their mental health and emotional well-being. Your compassionate approach and ability to connect with individuals in vulnerable states will be key to fostering their recovery and resilience.
