Our Thoughts and Prayers to Those Impacted by the Hurricanes

Many of our colleagues and participants from East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida have had their lives profoundly affected by the recent hurricanes. Several treatment centers have been impacted, with some having to close their doors and send clients home. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those suffering and those in harm’s way of these devastating and destructive forces.
