Love our Managers

Finding good managers is a challenge. Working with addicts and alcoholics is difficult under the best of circumstances.

The pay is low. Clients can be difficult. The hours are long. A manager deals with issues ranging from bus fare to someone needing to go to the hospital. He can go for hours without having anyone come to the office. Then, all of a sudden, he'll have five people outside his door with varying needs.

Yet, we're always able to somehow find people willing to do the job. The most successful managers place recovery first. 

And we have several people in their fifties and sixties who've worked for us for years. Some have an independent income and have lived on their own.  But they find it easier to stay sober while living and working in a protected environment like the one offered by TLC. In time, we've become a family for many of these managers.

And like a family, we take extra care of those who make commitments to join us and help run the program. When a manager gets sick, or has financial needs, we're always there as a corporation - and individually. On occasion we've had managers take other managers into their home when they're ill, helping nurse them to health.

And of course when clients see how we care for one another they recognize TLC as an attractive place to live and work.
