520 $a"With her Master of Social Work diploma still fresh in her hands, Rachel Greene Baldino embarked on a year-long journey as a new professional in a methadone clinic. She was ecstatic that she would be starting her career in a full-fledged counselor's position. But was she prepared for what lay ahead? Her personal account of the year that followed will give you an eye-opening glimpse into a place called "methadonia." Welcome to Methadonia: a Social Worker's Candid Account of Life in a Methadone Clinic captures the sights, sounds, smells, and emotions found in such a place. The author honestly and openly describes her feelings about the work and the people, and describes in graphic terms what she observed during her year there. Besides chronicling her year as a counselor in a methadone setting, Baldino makes recommendations for changes to the treatment system."--Jacket.
