She is in recovery herself and feels privileged to lend her expertise and experience to her role as a case manager, Luann is dedicated to ensuring that every guest receives the proper services throughout their stay.
As a part of the treatment team she works collaboratively with each guest’s primary therapist, outside referral source and family as appropriate.
