Ernie Hooker, CADC II, NCAC II At
Fergus Falls, Minnesota State Hospital I worked in primary, long term
and family inpatient treatment, plus I also worked in the counselor
training program.
Next I moved to Sacramento California and worked in a
residential program for a few months. After that I held a position in
Sacramento which was a four year DUI research program that was run by
the county, state and the federal government. I also was a consultant
for the Sacramento Black Alcoholism Program.
After the research program
was completed my next position was for a hospital in Pinole California.
I assisted in setting up that inpatient and outpatient program. I held
various positions including intern training coordinator until 2006 with
the exception four year from 1989 until 1993.
During that time I was
director of a dual diagnosis program in a psychiatric hospital in
Walnut Creek, California . I also developed that program including an
inpatient and outpatient codependency program. I managed an intern
program at that facility also.
