Halloween is a special occasion at CRI-Help. Clients and staff competed in costume and pumpkin carving contests at our Lincoln Heights Recovery Campus. At Socorro, our clients created an ofrenda. Living proof that recovery is a blast!

Thank you Governor Newsom for joining us at CRI-Help! We appreciated the opportunity to share about the frontlines of SUD treatment in California and the need to maintain progress we’ve made in recent years increasing access to SUD treatment for Californians across all socioeconomic demographics.

I am expanding access to behavioral health services through newly signed legislation that ensures individuals in crisis receive timely treatment, housing, and ongoing support in coordination with courts and local agencies.

We won't sit on the sidelines to address this crisis.

Socorro is more than just a program for Spanish-speakers. Serving our Latinx community means consistently celebrating days and moments outside of the standard Hallmark holidays. Feliz Dia de la Madre!

We are grateful to our predecessors who laid the foundation for our continued growth. Our belief that the therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parallel remains the foundation of our programs. Excited for the year ahead!
