If a client does not receive a complete orientation process, what may they experience?

When clients do not receive a complete orientation process, they may have incorrect information and unanswered questions about the program. A thorough orientation is designed to provide essential information about the treatment process, program policies, and available resources. Without this foundational understanding, clients might be left with misconceptions or confusion regarding how the program operates, what is expected from them, and the support available.

This lack of clarity can lead to feelings of uncertainty and skepticism about the process, ultimately impacting their engagement and commitment to treatment. An orientation equips clients with the knowledge they need to participate effectively in their recovery journey, making it crucial for them to have a clear understanding right from the start.
