I think the biggest challenges that we
00:05
face are are getting our clients to
00:09
understand the the system and how it
00:11
works my plan is always to get a client
00:13
and alcohol assessment immediately even
00:16
before court so that there’s two things
00:18
that could do that could either prove
00:20
that there is not an alcohol problem and
00:22
this was truly a one-time incident or it
00:25
could show that alcohol has been a
00:27
problem for a little bit longer and has
00:29
dramatically or even just a little bit
00:31
of impacted someone’s life and they
00:33
could be in some sort of denial and that
00:35
is the biggest challenge is getting
00:37
people to understand that I’m sending
00:39
them for an evaluation to help them not
00:42
to make them look like they have an
00:43
alcohol problem a lot of people will ask
00:45
well doesn’t that make me look like an
00:47
alcoholic and I have to explain that no
00:51
it’s not what it is is to make sure that
00:53
everyone understands if you have an
00:56
issue with alcohol what to do to help
00:57
and if you don’t have one then you do
01:00
some educational courses as opposed to
01:02
some inpatient or serious outpatient
01:05
rehabilitation
