Heroes Of The Addiction Crisis: How Dianna Sandoval & AspenRidge Recovery Are Helping To Address The Underlying Psychological Reasons Behind Addiction

At AspenRidge, we’re making progress by implementing an extended care model. We’re not like other facilities where it’s 30 days of treatment and then goodbye. Studies show that the longer someone is actively involved in treatment, the greater the chances of success. We keep people at our In-house Transitional Program for 90 days, and we spend that time stabilizing and starting to dig into the underlying psychological reasons behind addiction. Our clients spend the day in groups and individual therapy sessions at our main facility. In the afternoon, they return to recovery residences, also referred to as sober living facilities.

As a part of my series about “Heroes Of The Addiction Crisis” I had the pleasure of interviewing Dianna Sandoval, LPC, LAC.
