Maria is an amazing medication provider! She is so well informed and educates patients as to the how’s and why’s their meds do or don’t work. I love Maria and I feel very fortunate to have someone so caring as part of my care team
I came to ASAC after 15 years of serious substance abuse and it was the first treatment center I had ever been to. I am coming up on my one year anniversary being completely sober. I am happy, healthy, and in control of my life in a way others have prayed I would be for a long time. The staff at ASAC helped me in so many ways I could not list them all, they were nothing short of amazing to my family. These people at ASAC are the most knowledgeable, caring, capable bunch of professionals who have assembled a team that gets results. It is a special place and I want to thank asac from myself and on behalf of my family.
