Deadline February 1, 2023
Santé Center for Healing made a commitment to improving the quality of life within our great community and impacting the world, with positive ripple effects for generations to come.

Santé engages in both charitable giving and volunteer involvement efforts within our community. Santé recently partnered with UP Ministry to help feed local kids struggling with food insecurity through their "Fuel UP" program. Their program serves over 220 area kids each week through the distribution of meal packs. We were able to collect and sort a whole week’s worth of packs, plus extra food.

Both Santé staff and alumni helped with the project.
In a residential treatment program, individuals can finally get the help they need to recover. Many people feel guilty or ashamed of their addiction. These negative feelings make it harder for the person to realize that they need help. Through the right support, individuals can finally get the care they need.

Whether entering with substance use disorders, trauma, problematic sexual behavior, eating disorders or dual diagnosis, individuals who begin the residential level of care will individually and collectively interact with Santé’s exemplary, tenured staff of psychiatrists, addictionologists, psychologists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, certified addiction nurses, licensed dietitians, and masters level therapists who have additional credentialing and certifications in EMDR, CSAT, ACT, DBT, CBT, EFT, motivational interviewing, shame resiliency, psychodrama, relapse prevention and grief and loss.

Individualized treatment plans are customized throughout this level of care that involves: simultaneous treatment of dual diagnosis, individual therapy, group therapy, education, accountability, 12 step introduction, EMDR, neurofeedback, shame resiliency, experiential therapy including high and low ropes course, nutritional counseling, medication management, yoga, gender-specific groups and relapse prevention planning. Idea is to identify and work through the core-level issue underneath the substance use, problematic sexual behavior, disordered eating, and other compulsive behaviors. In this level of care, clients and their treatment teams identify the underlying causes of the addiction and how they can achieve long-term recovery.

“It gave me a new perspective to what is important in life. It allowed me to ‘disconnect’ from the chaos I was in or had created and to work on my recovery without distractions.”- Lisa, Alumnus
Santé Center for Healing measures client satisfaction to provide top-tier client care services, measure staff and organization performance, and improve client care experience. Residential clients are asked to take a survey at discharge. Results are based only on those that agreed to participate. Those who responded "very" or "mostly satisfied" are: (click here or see below image)
We love the relationship we have with our Alumni. It is an honor and joy to celebrate in their successes and to stand by them in hardships. Here is some of what they have recently shared.
Step 11
“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” 

Spirituality and addiction treatment, is it necessary for one to have a Higher Power or to practice spirituality to get sober and have a lasting recovery? The short answer is no, one does not need a Higher Power and/or spirituality to have recovery from addiction. Studies show that incorporating spirituality into one’s addiction treatment plan greatly increases the probability of having a lasting recovery from the disease of addiction, hence the reason why a majority of treatment centers offer a 12 Step or spirituality component. Addiction robs us from experiencing the essence of life, the ability to experience true joy and happiness, the ability to have value in relationships, and the ability to have a spiritual connection, the ability to live free. Sobriety and ultimately recovery allows us the ability to connect spiritually, once the oppressive veil of addiction has been removed we can begin to seek what spirituality is and what role that can play in one’s recovery. Spirituality is not religion although they are commonly used as the same word; spirituality is choosing anything greater than yourself, like one’s sobriety. Spirituality is a proactive journey of mindfulness, allowing us to connect to something greater than ourselves, it is a support, and ultimately spirituality can be the catalyst that allows us to truly feel and experience the joys of life that the disease of addiction had taken from us.

You are mission-inspired and results-driven. You chose your profession and calling for all the right reasons. Your work helps people in their most hidden and painful problems every day.

The importance of your work is underscored by how incredibly hard it is. Any given day might bring massive challenges with your clients or patients. Who else is in it for all the right reasons? Who can you trust to work alongside you, providing evidence-based and trauma-resolution care? Who provides the best opportunity for long-term recovery?

Google provides 350,000,000 results when searching “addiction treatment.” This is an overwhelming number of options that you can ascertain for quality, but can your clients or patients?

They look to you to:
  • Distinguish clinical experience and expertise from nonessential amenities and impersonal call centers; 
  • Connect them to higher levels of care ready for the increasing complexity of their problems and to discover and begin to heal from the root issues underneath, therefore decreasing the likelihood of relapse; 
  • Recognize other facilities may dress the part but lack integrity.

They look to you. And you look to Santé Center for Healing for expertise, integrity and long-term recovery…for all the right reasons.
