i am still in training and i work at an agency. i intend on working at this agency for at least the next year. i work in addictions and mostly we get referrals from outpatient therapists and alumni of the program.
the thing ive noticed about this field is that everyone has multiple income streams. so, most of the people that work at the agency with me also work at another agency, or teach, or have private practices.
getting certifications and being added to lists are a good way to get referrals. and often people who discharge from the agency but live in the area choose to see some of my colleagues in their outpatient practices.
