Our Treatment Team

Medical Staff – Our medical staff of doctors, psychiatrists, and nurse practitioners ensures that you’re in a safe, comfortable environment for smoother withdrawal management with MAT, general physical wellness, and mental health.

Substance Use Counselors  – Our substance use counselors take the lead in our team of professionals in helping you focus on recurring behavioral issues and road bumps like triggers, emotional regulation, distorted thinking, and preventing recurrence of use in a safe, supportive environment.

Continuing Care Coordinators – As you navigate your recovery, your consistent primary support will be your continuing care coordinator. Your coordinator will be a credentialed clinician such as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who coordinates your care team, helps you navigate the recovery-oriented system of care throughout your treatment, advocates for you, connects you to external resources, and monitors your treatment and recovery planning and outcomes throughout, and well beyond your participation in our programming.

Peer Recovery Coaches  – Recognized by the state of Missouri for excellence, your peer recovery coach will be member of your Continuing Care Coordinator’s team throughout your entire participation in your care with Sana Lake and beyond. The peer recovery coach is active in the development of, and support for your treatment and recovery plans throughout the entire continuum of care treatment including continuing care and beyond as you transition into the recovery community. You will plan for lifelong recovery beyond treatment by getting help navigating recovery resources and the recovery community.

Peer Support Specialists – Get back your hope, guidance, and a sense of belonging when you talk with our peer support specialists, who are all certified by the state of Missouri. You will lean on their experience as people in recovery who deeply understand what you’re going through and will help you get through it.

Member Care Specialists – Safety should be the last thing on your mind when you are working on your recovery. Trust our member care specialists, who make sure you are heard, safe, and protected. You will benefit from support, camaraderie, and direction on your recovery journey. Treatment might be tough at times, so these specialists help make your experience a little easier.

Substance Use Counselors  – Our substance use counselors lead our team of professionals to get you started on your recovery journey. They focus on things like triggers, emotional regulation, distorted thinking, and relapse prevention.

Nutritionists – Wellness is an inside job. You will learn to create healthy and delicious meals with our nutrition specialists. In addition, you will prepare for lifelong wellness by practicing how to eat well, plan meals, and shop smart once you return home.

Family Recovery Support – The involvement of your family in their own recovery journey will provide the entire family system the opportunity to heal. Our experience and research indicate the more the family is engaged in their own recovery, the better the outcomes for the entire family. The family is engaged from the beginning and will have their own personalized treatment and recovery plans following a similar path to yours with their own treatment team. Although the path is similar, it is much different than your journey.

Wellness staff – Any care plan that leaves out your mind, body, and spirit is incomplete. You will improve your whole-person health with tools created by our wellness staff. They help you work on your personal health and well-being during and after treatment, so you can get back to enjoying your life.
