The entitlement in some of the clients I deal with is amazing, but this guy made the top of my list.
Drug rehab is a big business here, ship your problem to Arizona for rehab. He/she will get 6 weeks of substance abuse treatment and then be moved to a sober living home where he/she will be expected to find a job and pay rent. (In a state with medical marijuana cards available by just take paying a doctor to say that you are in need of medical marijuana and a state fee of 350 per year. If you are on public assistance the card is half price.)
As soon as someone is being moved to sober living with all of his fellow "recovered" addicts, they are brought in to get food stamps.
We have to verify how the rehab was paid for, which usually means calling the parents. If the parents are paying for the phone, we have to verify that as well. So, I talked to a mom who said she was paying for the phone and would continue to do so, she also paid for the "rehab", but the rehab place had told her that her son would be getting a job and paying his own rent.
When I got back to the 40 something old child, I asked how his job search was going. He wasn't really looking just now because he thought he needed more time. I asked how he was going to pay his rent if he wasn't working and he said he didn't know that he was expected to pay his own rent, so could I call his mother and tell her that she had to do pay it.
Nope, I know that you have a phone and you have her number. Not going to happen, I will not do it.
Client slammed the phone down, ran out and kicked the trash can over. That sure taught me!!!
