'Greetings,
I began my counseling career as a Substance Abuse Counselor for the Army. I worked with soldiers who were referred to our office if alcohol use was interfering with their duties. I ran groups as well as weekly individual sessions. I also ran groups for teenagers who were caught on base drinking/drugging. It is here that I learned my first and most important lesson about confidentiality.
