The Team
At the core of our program, I knew the SUMAT staff would be an integral part of my work. Not a single member of my team comes to work just because of a paycheck.
When you work with patients with conditions and situations as serious as those who are treated at SUMAT, it is important to have empathy. Caring about others in a profound way is something that cannot be taught. It is an integral quality valued above all else.
Without the team I have assembled, we would not experience the results we do. They are loyal, passionate, unique, caring and funny. We have been together in disappointments and sadness as well as in many times of celebration with our patients. This knits us together and is why we are so dedicated to helping you find success in overcoming substance use.
