Blue Mountain Recovery Center

      It’s a great job that keeps her on her toes. Melissa works at Blue Mountain
Recovery Center in Pendleton Oregon. She was 18 years old when she started
working at the Blue Mountain Recovery Center, not always wanting to do this
particular job but always knowing she had the ambition to help people. The
reason why she likes this job is because she is helping people live independently,
better job skills, and improve their self-esteem. The most difficult part of the job
is working with people who hear voices, have delusions, see things, and some
that just have no self-hope and she realized she can’t control or take away their
delusions so her job is to reassure them that they are safe and they will get
better. Anther motivation for keeping this job is because of the benefits (health’s
insurance, dental insurance, and retirement benefits). Yes, Melissa feels this job is
fulfilling because she gets to see people get better so they can leave the recovery
center where they can live independently. Melissa plans on retiring from this job
at an early age, while feeling the accomplishments that she made in many lives
along the way.
