Was brought in on a trial basis to work at an unlocked facility for treating addictions in teenagers and young adults. The wing in which I worked housed 24 males. This was my first job in this field and my trainer was sent on a mandatory vacation shortly after I arrived, with no replacement. So I floundered and generally just did whatever other staff said.
