A typical day will consist of intakes, paperwork, counseling, and cleaning. Substance addiction centers are heavily focused on routines for patients, and the individual(s) running the business will need to stick to a rigid routine of their own. These routines help patients find replacements for their substance addiction, which is necessary before they exit the center and go back to their day-to-day lives. Some days will be simpler than others due to the number of patients in the facility and the severity of their addictions. However, each day will require face-to-face interactions with patients and making them feel good about their decision to be in the program.
