An idea I had. Evaluation form is adapted from one I found online from the University of Washington.

Ohh! Okay. I was going to say, I loved the evaulation form, but not much seemed to have been done with it afterward, but that final line clinched the upvote. Nicely done.

"Dr. Jameson, these are your fellow rehabees, Researcher Coors, Agent Smirnoff, and Assistant Director Bacardi"

Very nice "slice of life" type tale. Upvoted happily.

I like this a lot.

The Foundation is obviously a very difficult place to work at. MTF staff can be basically assumed to have PTSD, and researchers or even admin staff are very likely to be exposed to incredibly traumatic experiences too.

Substance abuse disorders must be rampant among Foundation employees. And where the hell can they go? It's not like they can show up at a regular AA meeting and talk about the monster that brain-raped them and eviscerated their spouse.

The Foundation is huge, and prides itself on pragmatism. It just makes sense that they would have their own support groups and substance abuse treatment programs. The Foundation must have thousands of employees - of course some of them start their own AA group.
