Angela Hall , an enrollment specialist at ABA Health Services, appreciates having the opportunity to make a difference in clients' lives. People who are battling addictions have some things in common, but tend to vary in their commitment to getting and staying clean and sober, says Hall, whose initial interest in the addiction treatment eld was in uenced by seeing family members and friends struggle with addiction. “Addiction seems to be everywhere.” “Here at ABA, we see some people who really want to recover; others may be here because someone suggested they needed to be here. I always hope that with them continuing to come here, they may want to change that, and really decide to change.” “That's why we're here – to give them an extra push and tell them, ‘You can do it.’” Hall, who has a bachelor's degree in social work, is working on earning her master's degree in addiction counseling. She's gaining a valuable on-the-job education in watching ABA counselors work with treatment consumers in group settings.
