🌳 Your Family Story Can Guide Your Health

This October, as we celebrate , it’s a perfect opportunity to look deeper than just names and dates. Your family history can reveal patterns that impact your health, including addiction risk.

Did you know that genetics can contribute to up to 60% of addiction risk? If substance misuse has affected your family, it doesn’t necessarily mean your future is set. Instead, it’s a chance to gain insight, make informed choices, and seek support if needed. Exploring your roots empowers your journey toward a healthier, stronger future.

🚨 Honoring Our First Responders 🚨

At Laguna Treatment Center, we recognize the courage and dedication of first responders, the men and women who put themselves on the line every day to keep our communities safe. That dedication often comes with a heavy toll, impacting mental health and sometimes contributing to substance use or co-occurring disorders. 💙

Our Salute to Recovery program is a specialized track designed to support Veterans, active duty military, and current or retired first responders, including firefighters, law enforcement, EMS providers, dispatchers, and correctional officers. Through personalized care, we help these heroes heal, recover, and reclaim their lives. Learn more ➡️ https://loom.ly/7izkmIs

Last week, members of our Veteran Liaison Team from Laguna Treatment Center attended MCON 2025, the only annual event created by Veterans to celebrate military culture, service, and community.

It was an amazing experience connecting with organizations like PsychArmor Institute and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, sharing ideas and strategies to better support Veterans and their families. Events like this truly reflect our mission to foster connection, purpose, and well-being for those who have served.

💔 Overdose doesn’t only affect younger adults; older adults are at risk, too!

Recent research shows that in just eight years, overdose deaths among adults 65+ have surged 9,000%, often tied to fentanyl mixed with stimulants like cocaine or meth.

Older adults also face unique challenges. Many manage chronic health conditions, take multiple medications, and process substances more slowly. What might feel “small” to some can become life-threatening.

You can help protect the ones you love:
✅ Keep naloxone nearby and recognize the signs of overdose.
✅ Talk openly with healthcare providers about safe pain management.
✅ Learn about the risks of mixing substances 👉 https://loom.ly/bekWQCc

🌟 Rock Star of the Week: Lilian Gumban-Saldana, BSN, RN! 🌟

This week, we’re celebrating Lilian, one of Laguna Treatment Center’s incredible Admission Nurses, for the compassion, energy, and kindness she brings to every shift. 💛

When she’s not welcoming new patients with her trademark warmth, you might find her in an infrared sauna recharging, sipping on a matcha latte with five pumps of brown sugar (only on cheat days!), or rapping along to classic Eminem tracks (yep, she knows most of the old ones by heart!) 🎤

Her favorite motto?
👉 “Be kinder today than you were yesterday.”
And she truly lives by it every day here at Laguna. 💫

Join us in celebrating Lilian and the heart she brings to our team! 💚

🌈 From recovery to radiance, Eureka O’Hara continues to light the way.

You might remember her powerful "Addiction Talk," where she shared her journey through pain, healing, and the courage it takes to truly love yourself.

Now, she’s channeling that same bravery into co-authoring a middle-grade novel that celebrates identity, friendship, and self-expression. Meet Jackson Bright, a boy who enters a local pageant in drag, discovering that embracing who you are can change not just your own world, but everyone around you.

Eureka’s story reminds us that authenticity and healing are connected and that sharing your journey can inspire others to find their own voice. 🌟
