One mission of St Joseph's Addiction and Recovery Centers is to provide Veterans and First Responders a safe, trauma informed environment to gain purpose and healing that will support lasting recovery. Program Director Jeremy Baumann addressed our group today to discuss the three stages of care in St. Joseph's program: stabilization, rehabilitation, reintegration. The common dilemmas of substance abuse are loss of identity, stigma, isolation and degradation. Through a program of activities, St. Joseph's works to provide a path to return individuals to being productive members of society. Please visit their website for more videos and a further discussion of the treatment process. https://www.stjoestreatment.org/veterans-treatment The program is in need of donations of clothing, furniture and other items to help those on the path of recovery. Please contact Laurie lwoodruff@stjoestreatment.org to learn how you can help.
