6. How do you educate your patients on addiction?
How to Answer
As an Addiction Therapist, educating your patients as well as their families is the key to recovery. Tell the interviewer when you would provide one on one education to your patient, provide education in a group setting or when you would schedule an appointment to meet with the family. Tell the interviewer about a few websites that are your go-to as well as referral agencies in the community.

Answer Example
"I've found that the majority of my patients aren't in a living situation that they have the internet as a resource and pamphlets"‹ get thrown away. I've found that the most beneficial way to educate my patients is to encourage them to attend groups weekly to stay on track."
