Within three years of recovery, she worked as a residential assistant at Arise Treatment Center in Lynchburg, VA.

Adriane was in the position to keep it real as she worked with the residents.
Some years later Adriane moved to Atlanta, GA and worked at St. Jude Recovery Center for seven years as the House Manager for married and single women.
