Oh and huge ditto on having worked thru your own illness first. As a recovering addict the stats were about 10 yrs of employment until a former addicted counselor completely burns out on the job. The addiction workers have it really hard because they're triggered daily. It's not common, but some continue to work after relapsing and keep it a secret and there is a rehab here where the director committed suicide. I believe giving back to the community by healing is an amazing feat. It just can take a lot out of a person and they lose themselves.
