Melissa Pennington, DO, ASAM, CEDS

Medical Director

3 years at Sant é Center of Healing

Service work helps lay the foundation for a strong and lasting recovery. By helping others, we are able to get out of our own heads and be more present in the moment. It is a stark contrast to who we were in our addictions- selfish and self-serving. The holidays provide ample opportunity to be of service- cooking a nice meal, setting and clearing the table, caring for children, putting up and taking down decorations... the list goes on. Putting others first helps us to stay humble and grateful. It reminds us of the importance of “being a part of” and helps us to leave behind the loneliness we felt before sobriety.

Family Services and Support

Addiction impacts everyone in the family unit, not just the addict. Santé works closely with the families of addicts to provide education and support.

The Power of One

Santé gives staff members the opportunity to donate $1 from each paycheck throughout the year to our in-house program, "The Power of One." This program was created to aid members of our staff in case of an unexpected event or crisis. The Power of One has also gone to help local charities and recovery groups as well. This year, we have adopted four families that are in need of assistance with meals and gifts for the holidays. We at Santé look forward to serving those in need each year.

Renee Stone, RN, BSN, CARN

Director of Nursing

13 years at Sant é Center of Healing

With a 13 year tenure, Renee Stone, RN, BSN, CARN, serves as Santé’s Director of Nursing. She not only gives excellent care to those in treatment at Santé, but her compassion translates at home as a mother of four. Family is of utmost importance to Renee. When her youngest son, now a senior in high school, was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, Renee honored a healthy boundary leaving her work at Santé, and at home focusing her energies on family time. And there is an exciting update…Renee’s son will soon celebrate five years in remission!

When asked what initially drew her to Santé, Renee replied, “The same things that drew me to Santé still stand true today and that is the many different thoughts, ideas, and collaborations among departments work to get patients into treatment and long-term recovery. There isn’t any other facility that I know of that works harder than Santé does to help get someone into treatment, stay engaged in treatment and provide successful tools for long-term recovery. Santé isn’t cookie cutter- it is very much individualized.”
