Advice and answer examples written specifically for an Addiction Therapist job interview.
8. How do you help your patients cope?
How to Answer
As an Addiction Therapist you've seen and my know personally that overcoming addiction is hard. Have a situation in your back pocket to share if the interviewer wants more of a situation explained. Tell the interviewer that you provide time for the patient to ask questions and listen to the patient's stories. Let the interviewer know that as a therapist you feel that validating the patient's experiences, feelings, thoughts, and emotions is an important step to recovery."
