Laguna Treatment Center Unveils New Name and Expanded Mission with Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
May 24 2024 - 7:05AM
Laguna Treatment Center, a leading provider of addiction treatment
services, celebrated a significant milestone on May 23 with a
ribbon-cutting ceremony at its newly renamed facility. The event
marked the official unveiling of the center's new name and expanded
mission, highlighting its commitment to enhancing services and
supporting individuals in need in Orange County and beyond.
The decision to change the name from Laguna Treatment Hospital
to Laguna Treatment Center was made to eliminate confusion about
the services offered, as it implied a focus on hospital services.
By rebranding, the treatment center aims to eliminate this
confusion and clearly communicate its specialized focus on
addiction treatment.
"We are excited about our new name and the enhanced services we
will be offering," said Trace Swartzfager, Executive Director of
Laguna Treatment Center. "In addition to our new name, we look
forward to expanding in the near future to include outpatient
services. This enhancement will allow us to support even more
individuals in their recovery journey, providing them with the
flexibility and resources they need to achieve long-term
recovery."
Laguna Treatment Center recognizes the urgent need for addiction
treatment, especially in light of the opioid epidemic. According to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 7
Americans report experiencing a substance use disorder, and 1 in 5
Americans experience a mental health disorder in any given year.
Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders are also
common.
"As we all know, drug overdose is the leading cause of
unintentional death in the United States, with opioid addiction
driving this epidemic," emphasized Dr. Gary Mitrevolis, Medical
Director of Laguna Treatment Center. "However, it is crucial to
remember that addiction is a treatable disorder. Our mission is to
provide hope and healing to those affected by these
challenges."
