Cri--help-Inc

Working at Cri-Help for the past two years as a Senior Detox Technician has been one of the most rewarding and transformative experiences of my professional life. From day one, I was welcomed into a team of compassionate, dedicated professionals who are truly committed to the mission of helping individuals recover from addiction and reclaim their lives.

Cri-Help fosters a culture of integrity, teamwork, and growth. The leadership is supportive and hands-on, always encouraging personal and professional development. I was given the opportunity to grow into a senior role where I was able to mentor others, contribute to meaningful change in clients’ lives, and be part of a team that prioritizes both clinical excellence and human connection.

The level of care provided at Cri-Help is unmatched. The staff—from medical and clinical to support and administrative—go above and beyond to meet clients where they’re at, with empathy and professionalism. The detox unit, in particular, operates with a high level of structure and compassion, ensuring safety, dignity, and the best possible start to recovery for every client who walks through the door.

I’m truly grateful to have been part of this organization. The impact Cri-Help has had on the community—and on me personally—will stay with me forever. I highly recommend Cri-Help to anyone seeking a meaningful career in the treatment field or looking for a place to begin their recovery journey.

Thank you, Cri-Help, for the opportunity to serve and grow. You’ve made a lasting impression on my life.

I begin working in the Cri-Help kitchen at 6:30am. I am always happy to see my co-workers bright and early, working together to get the meals ready for the day. In order to prepare the food properly we always maintain a sanitary environment, making sure that all food and utensils are properly cleaned and stored in the right conditions. Throughout my time working here I've learned that teamwork and strong communication skills, as well as a commitment to excellence,  are the main ingredients to success in the culinary business. The hardest part of the job is leaving at the end of the day because I love making the clients here smile after eating a delicious meal that I helped prepare. The management here is fabulous and very supportive of my stellar work ethics as well as my high level of client satisfaction which is proven on a daily basis. I enjoy the diversity of the people I am able to meet while on the job and it inspires me to continue to do what I do :) Bon Apetit!
