As an Addiction Counselor you may find that you can get emotionally attached to a patient. It may be tempting to give out your personal contact information for a patient to contact you in a time of need. Relay to the interviewer that you find it important to set boundaries with your patients.

"I think it is very important for a counselor never to give out their personal information. Providing a personal phone number or email address allows the patient to break boundary rules that should be set during the initial intake and treatment plan."
