Robert Swift, MD, our Medical Director for more than 22 years, shared with us why his work is so meaningful: “When I help someone struggling with alcohol or drug use, I feel I really help them. The ripple effect on their lives and on their families’ lives is hugely gratifying. Helping one person helps at least five others, including their partners, children, and grandchildren. Benefits are generational.” We are deeply grateful that every patient that enters our program is evaluated by Dr. Swift for MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment), and that he has helped so many along their path to recovery.
