Recovery stories matter because they help people feel less alone.

A lot of people still think addiction only happens to “certain kinds” of people. But the truth is, addiction impacts families and communities everywhere, often more quietly than people realize.

That’s part of why "What It Takes" feels so important.
This documentary from director Jeff Shulman shares stories of addiction, loss, resilience, and the people fighting their way back to themselves. And for us at Laguna Treatment Center, this one feels especially personal because one of our alumni is featured in the film.

Watching someone reclaim their life is powerful. Watching them tell their story publicly so other people might feel seen is something else entirely.

The Orange County premiere takes place this Sunday at 2 p.m. at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, and we’d love to see our community there supporting this conversation.

Who’s joining us? 💜

There's no love quite like a mother's. Fierce, exhausted, selfless, complicated… and showing up anyway. 💪

Mothers don’t clock out. And neither do the hard parts: the worry, the weight, the moments when you're running on empty and no one's asking how you're doing.

To every mom. and mother figure — the ones walking the road and the ones still finding their footing, the ones who are thriving and the ones who are just surviving — you are seen. All versions of you are worthy of care. ❤️

You show up for everyone. It's okay to show up for yourself too. Happy Mother's Day.

People choose this work for a reason.

During Nurses Week, we asked two of our nurses at Laguna Treatment Center why they chose the field of addiction and mental health care.

Their answers speak to the compassion, purpose, and heart that this work takes every single day.

The work can be demanding.
It can be emotional.
And for the people who do it, it matters deeply.

Take a moment to hear their stories. 💜

Sometimes, the person carrying the most is the one nobody checks on.

Because she’s still showing up.
Still getting things done.
Still taking care of everyone else.

Motherhood doesn’t cancel out anxiety.
Or depression.
Or exhaustion.
Or burnout.

And struggling doesn’t make someone a bad mom. That's worth repeating. Struggling doesn't mean you're a bad mom!

Mental health matters at every stage of motherhood, and not just for mothers, but for the families depending on them, too.

Supporting caregivers helps children.
Supporting mothers helps families.

It’s all connected.

We're kicking off Nurses Week by recognizing the work that often goes unseen.

Some of the most important work doesn't happen in the spotlight, which is why we're pulling the curtain back today and featuring the one who supports teams, solves problems, and makes sure patients get the care they need.

At Laguna Treatment Center, that’s Natalie Laugen. As Director of Nursing, she brings consistency, care, and a steady presence that makes a real difference for both her team and the patients they serve.

We’re proud to celebrate her—and all of our nursing staff—throughout this Nurses Week 2026! 💜

Cinco de Mayo isn’t always easy in recovery.

Let’s be honest. Most of what you’ll see today is built around drinking.

And if you’re trying to stay sober,
it can feel like you’re either missing out
or constantly having to explain yourself.

But you don’t have to choose between celebrating
and protecting your recovery.

Both things can be true.

You can show up, have fun, connect with people
And stay grounded in what matters to you.

So instead of sitting it out or white-knuckling your way through it…

we put together 5 ways to celebrate Cinco de Mayo
that actually support your recovery.

👇 Take a look and do what works for you.

You probably know someone who’s depressed.
You just wouldn’t guess it.

They show up.
They laugh.
They get everything done.
They might even be the one other people rely on.

And still…
they don’t want to get out of bed.
they feel completely alone.
they’re running on empty more days than not.

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness.

Sometimes it looks like someone who seems fine.

And sometimes, it shows up in the ways people cope…
like drinking a little more than they used to,
or relying on something just to get through the day.

So yeah… this is your reminder:
Check in on people.
Not just when it’s obvious.
But when it’s not.

And if this feels a little too familiar…
you’re not the only one carrying it.
And you don’t have to keep doing it alone.

Sobriety isn’t a competition.

Some people are counting hours.
Some are counting days.
Some are counting years.

All of it's a BIG DEAL!

Because every step forward—no matter how small it looks from the outside—took something real to get there.

It's May 1! And we think it's all a big deal, so share how many _________s you've been in recovery!

Relapse is where most people decide someone has failed.

It’s also where many people quietly give up.

But what if that moment isn’t the end?
What if it’s just information?

In a recent episode of the "Willpower Podcast with Will Gordon," Chris Cummins, COO/Clinical Director at Laguna Treatment Center, shares his own experience with alcohol and drug use and why relapse shouldn’t be met with shame, but understood for what it actually is.
