Pros
Started as an Intern in 1999. I'm still here in 2024. I valued the opportunity to build and grow in my career, the freedom to be creative, the support I got when my son had a car accident and was in the hospital in 2023 for 4 1/2 month, when my husband died in 2017, and for many other situations. Adapt has been a huge part of my life for 24 years now, and although I am planning to retire in the near future, it always will be in my heart. Being able to help start the RSAT program and stayed active in that program for 6 years, making it a very successful program. Working with the families of the RSAT clients we worked with, bringing the Oxford houses to Roseburg with the help of Juie Buel, DC jail allegiance, and helping RSAT clients to get 9 college credits for doing the work during the time in RSAT, and a free college term by completion of the program, while attending RSAT aftercare. Adding Gambling treatment was a new experience. Choosing this career was the right decision I made!
Cons
Benefits are good, appreciate 401K, wages are ok, but since half of the income is going to taxes, insurance, etc., when you have a mortgage, car payment, cost of living sky high, it is hard to make it.
