Nature of Addiction

One of the hardships consistent within addiction is the nature of addiction itself. Having worked with and for other mental and behavioral health organizations, Santé’s Medical Director Dr. Melissa Pennington points out, “Santé understands and best addresses the ‘rolling with resistance’ aspect of treating addiction.” Those in active addiction commonly want to leave treatment, stop doing the hard but important work of feeling and healing, and return to their drug of choice at various points along their recovery journey. From initial intake to detox and longer term recovery, Santé has developed and implemented several procedures to encourage patients to remain in life-saving, life-affirming treatment. “We do this by ensuring a non-judgmental attitude, comfortable detox, gentle reassurance, and enlisting the help of peers and family and friends in recovery.” We ask patients to intentionally invest in themselves and in their treatment community, refraining from their previous environment in their first few days in residential treatment. Dr. Pennington continues, “We have a ‘96 hour rule’ that ensures patients do not leave treatment impulsively. Most importantly, we treat each and every patient as a person. We listen to them, we understand them, and we don't take their actions or statements in the midst of addiction personally.”

Step Three

An important step in someone's path to recovery is faith. Having the trust to rely on something or someone who is not themselves is not easy but it can be done if you have the confidence to try. Let go and have faith.

Santé proudly awards the Dr. Deb Corley & Santé Center for Healing Scholarship to Denise Lopez.

The Dr. Deb Corley & Santé Center for Healing Scholarship in honor of Santé’s co-founder/co-owner Dr. Deb Corley, PhD. It is awarded to individuals pursuing a graduate degree towards work in the mental and behavioral health field.

Denise is from Arlington, Texas. She is pursuing a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Tarleton State University. Denise is passionate about sharing the importance of mental health with everyone. She shared, "Life has peaks and valleys, my hope is to equip adolescence, parents, and individuals [with tools on] how to navigate through the tough times. When an individual has the tools to cope with stress, anxiety, and depression in a healthy manner they have a better chance to get through the hard times life comes with. I have a heart to serve others, specifically in the field of counseling and more specifically with a focus on addictions."

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.

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.
