Our goal is to provide an environment for individuals to lead lives of dignity, self-esteem and personal development.” Dr. Steven L. Smith, President and CEO\n\n”In the past, substance abuse treatment was viewed primarily as a crisis response. Today, substance abuse treatment is recognized as a priority area. In order for an individual to be well-treated at an addiction treatment facility, there must be a commitment from the addict and the family that will allow them to participate fully in the recovery process. Unfortunately, too many family members do not want to admit they have a problem or have any problem at all, let alone encourage their loved one to seek treatment. This makes it even more difficult to seek out treatment when the addicted individual has made it clear that he or she does not have the resources to pay for it on his own. In the meantime, many families may be tempted by the promise of quick fixes and fall into the trap of buying the ‘quick fix’ that promises immediate and permanent recovery.” Dr. Steven L. Smith, President and CEO\n\n”If you are an adult who is struggling with substance abuse, you don’t have to suffer alone. There are many good, reputable treatment facilities available around the nation to serve adults, teens and children suffering from substance abuse issues. One of the first steps in finding the right treatment facility is to determine your specific needs. You should ask yourself questions about how long you have been using drugs or alcohol and what led to the situation. You also need to decide what kind of recovery you are looking for, whether it’s spiritual emotional, mental or physical.
