Our Staff
Both our men’s and women’s homes are staffed 24/7 with gender specific staff. We feel it is important to have a team that embraces not only the philosophy and mission of the Sanctuary, but has significant recovery of their own, thereby having walked in the shoes of being in early recovery and knowing first hand the challenges it represents.
All of our staff have mandatory training in CPR, ethics, crisis intervention and are either certified as a recovery support specialist or working on a higher level of addictions certification.
