MVP Award
Working at Malibu Detox I had a big group of clients which I would make a point to speak with each of them daily and give them hope of recovery and a will to keep fighting. I would efficiently complete all tasks in a timely manner and train new staff upon hiring. I got a great review from multiple clients on how much I impacted their stay and their way of thinking while in our program. I currently am in tough with a few of those clients that have still stayed sober and have completed turned their life around.
