As the TEAP Specialist I provided education on the aspects that substance use/abuse can influence an individual’s ability to obtain and maintain employment. I provided education on the tactics to avoid relapse, risky behaviors and other issues that might confront the individuals from age 14 - 23.

Through a private practice, I provided Behavioral Health, Addiction Counseling and social services to residents of Rapid City and Oglala Lakota Indian Reservation that were participating in the Access to Recovery Program. Utilizing evidence based treatment methods I provided counseling for depression, anxiety, co-dependency, anger management and other Behavioral Health issues to empower individuals to achieve recovery. I provided successful counseling for individuals that were experiencing addiction issues based on the 12 Core Values of Counseling. This was accomplished by utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, group therapy and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapeutic techniques. Upon completion of counseling I was responsible for continued case management, continued treatment planning and follow through with client and family.

As part of my duties at Southwest Behavioral Health Services I provided assessment and assignment for clients that were directed by the county and state courts to attend either twice weekly substance abuse groups or the State directed DUI/DWI classes every other month. It was through the utilization of these techniques that provided my clients with successful completion of their treatment plan and court directives.
