CTMC to offer substance abuse program

STAFF REPORT

Central Texas Medical Center (CTMC) is announcing its Day One Recovery Program for those who are struggling with substance abuse, and its co-occurring mental health concerns.

Said Gary Jepson, CTMC president and chief executive officer, “A recent assessment of needs and concerns of our community found a lack of treatment options and professional mental health support for the problems that have developed as a result of the continued increase in substance abuse. As a result, CTMC, through its Day One Recovery Program, is committed to helping in meeting these community needs.”

Day One is a six-week, voluntary intensive outpatient program, which focuses on gaining and maintaining sobriety, and the life skills associated with a clean and sober lifestyle. Day One is under the supervision of Frank Floca, M.D.

The Day One Recovery Program is located at 2004-B Medical Parkway in San Marcos. For further information, about the program, or to talk with a staff member about the referral process, call Day One Recovery at (512) 392-2283.
