Sometimes you can’t make this stuff up.
When I worked in a Drug & Alcohol rehab, I used to give the aftercare briefing to those finishing a 28+ day stint. I had one young girl ask “How many relapses am I entitled to?”. I was speechless for a few seconds, then I said “How many do you think you can live through?”. This young girl was prostituting for drugs when she came in.........oy!
Professional victims...........

You got that right. Guy walked into the office one day. I was at the front desk and I asked him what he needed. He took out a pad and wrote that he wished to see one of our counselors about finding work. No problem. I set him up to see our counselor who dealt with deafing and hard of hearing clients as he knows sign and graduated from Galludet, even though he is not deaf. Anywho, guy sees the counselor and after about an hour he leaves. The counselor called me in and said “Guess what? That guy is not deaf.” He then explained how the guy can talk but will do not so unless he can do it in bible verse. LOL! True story.

How high was the percentage of clients who said after they completed the program that they wanted to be substance abuse counselor? Bet it was pretty high. It always is.
