The CRI-Help staff is composed of compassionate clinicians to help guide you through your recovery process. Our staff training is considered the gold-standard within the recovery industry, and includes extensive education on withdrawal management protocols, medical and psychiatric stabilization, counseling techniques, crisis intervention, family involvement, cultural responsiveness, confidentiality and privacy compliance, and more.
Our staff is composed of a diverse treatment team, including licensed physicians, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, registered nurses, therapists, social workers, certified counselors, and peer support specialists.
What’s more, a majority of staff members are CRI-Help alumni themselves, proof of our program’s transformative power. Our unique combination of lived experience and rigorous training enables us to effectively transmit our recovery and knowledge to you and your family.
As one client attested, “Miracles happen here.” Our staff members are the first examples our clients see that a fulfilling, substance-free life is possible – thanks to the foundation they established at CRI-Help.
