Behavioral Health Tech Team

Our Behavioral Health Technician staff is totally committed to helping clients get that the most they can out of their treatment experience.

They are the first line of defense when a client is in Post Acute Withdrawal and feels like leaving treatment; interrupting that thinking and helping them get past it by reminding them why they are here. No one gets better when they leave treatment early, and our staff is especially good at keeping clients focused on their treatment processes.

At Recovery First, our BHT staff is a cut above; they ensure the safety of each and every client on a daily basis. When clients are not in group, they are constantly monitoring them by sight and sound, making sure that all of their needs are met.
