"The best part of the career is the rapport you build with each individual client and the ability to make a difference in someone's life. It feels good to help people by empowering them to help themselves. Some of the worst parts are when clients refuse to take their medication and you see them relapse over and over again. It seems like they won't ever get better. Another one of the worst things is when patients don't care about helping themselves."

"Make sure you know your local community resources and how to make needed referrals to those places/people. Get to know each individual client and read everything in their chart and be sure to document everything that you do. Encourage everyone else to do the same. Talk to the doctors and make sure they stay current with that patient's information and prognosis. Be sure to make treatment plans individualized to a particular patient. Avoid "cookie cutter" or generic plans."
