All staff of the Better Way understands that the disease of addiction causes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual problems with the addict/alcoholic and their family.  The staff is trained, educated, dedicated, and experienced with helping our clients to leave the addictive lifestyle and the drug/alcohol abuse to live a healthy and sober life.

 

Student interns from various universities, such as Howard University, Bowie State University, University of the District of Columbia and other community counseling training programs are referred from their school to gain on-the-job training, while working toward their degree.  Finally, the Better Way Program is an approved NAADAC (National Association for Drug and Alcohol Counselors) education provider, where workshops on various topics are conducted to maintain ongoing addiction education training for counselors, social workers, case managers, etc.
