Sunset House Recovery

We explore the vital contrasts between aftercare programs and extended care programs, emphasizing how extended care provides clients with a safe and structured environment to practice crucial life skills. Extended care is where the 'rubber meets the road', offering clients the opportunity to apply these skills for independent and sober living while still. With the added benefit of clinical support, our extended care program empowers clients to navigate real-life challenges, paving the way for lasting success!

Leaders don't just serve their clients—they empower the dedicated professionals who show up every day, helping both clients and teams grow and thrive.

Treatment completion doesn’t equal true sobriety. While successful outcomes and high program completion rates are important, they don’t always translate to lasting recovery. Our real mission should be helping people achieve long-term sobriety, because that’s what truly matters for those of us committed to making a difference

Incredibly insightful article from Frank Galimidi CASAC, CAP, CRADC, NCACII, ICADC, SAP, our CCO at Sunset House Recovery and Executive Director of The Meadows Counseling Center LLC. Frank’s extensive experience—spanning over two decades in substance abuse and mental health treatment—brings a deep understanding of the challenges faced by first responders and military personnel. His piece, Enhancing Emotional Resilience in First Responders and Military Personnel: The Case for Early and Ongoing Clinical Support Programs, highlights an essential shift in how we approach mental health for those in high-risk professions. Frank’s focus on the unique psychological demands these individuals face is powerful, especially his advocacy for routine, preventive mental health programs. The call to break the stigma surrounding mental health in these communities resonates, as does his emphasis on the need for a cultural shift that normalizes seeking help. By implementing early and ongoing clinical support, we can help prevent the devastating toll of untreated trauma and stress, which often lead to burnout, substance abuse, and tragically high rates of suicide. This holistic approach is not just proactive but essential. Ensuring our first responders and service members have access to mental health resources throughout their careers benefits both the individuals and the communities they serve. #MentalHealthMatters #FirstResponders #MilitaryMentalHealth #TraumaInformedCare #EmotionalResilience #SubstanceAbuseRecovery #SupportOurHeroes #BreakTheStigma #VeteranSupport #WellnessInTheWorkplace
