Protea is a locally owned and operated organization that hopes to serve those in the community battling addiction. Their recovery process involves a barrier reduction model, which includes several benefits for their patients. We think that we bring a lot of interesting and new concepts around treating substance use disorders. We use a barrier reduction model, which is where we try to get barriers out of the way of our clients so that they can go back into the community and be contributing members. That includes things like employment, financial literacy, social and recovery capital, reintegration with their families. And then we also help with legal issues and any other issues that they may have that they have, you know, has been a part of their substance use history. The main target of their recovery process is chronic substance abuse. Once a patient has overcome their addiction, Protea will also help provide care afterwards such as transitional living and addressing legal issues. What we're doing is we're addressing the chronic symptoms of a substance use disorder. What that means is, you know, initially somebody may just need to have detoxification or just get the, you know, the substances out of their body. But then there's a whole lot of problems and a whole lot of issues and barriers that go along with that after they're done with that piece. And so those are the things that we're working on. We are super excited to be here and to help this community with their substance use disorder problems and make sure that we are a contributing member to the community as well.
