Shadow - Canton-Potsdam Hospital Inpatient Rehab for Substance Use Disorders

By

For eight weeks, I was given the opportunity to shadow Sara Elliott, a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) in pursuit of her License in Clinical Social Work (LCSW) at an Inpatient Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Rehab Unit. This SUD Rehab is an acute 28-day program focused on crisis care and short-term stability. Caseworkers utilize person-centered care by setting participants up with stable housing and aftercare appointments such as primary care, outpatient SUD counseling, Mental Health (MH) counseling, and educational programs.
