Additional Staff
Our staff doesn’t just include the physicians and specialists here at the facility. We have nutritionists that help plan the meals that patients are served on a daily basis. There are wellness instructors that provide structured workouts and scheduled activities for patients to participate in; some of these include yoga instructors and acupuncturists. There is even a spiritual mentor trained to help patients open up to other beliefs and ideas and help them on their own journey to their form of spirituality.
We are always trying to improve our facilities and programs, so we have partnered up with Washington University’s School of Social Work to hire interns from the program. Through this, these interns are able to experience what a real treatment center atmosphere feels like. We encourage these students to learn from our faculty as well as provide modern ideas in order to continue to develop our outreach to a younger population.
Our Dittmer team strives to serve and educate not only the Missouri community but individuals across the nation, as well. If you believe you or a loved one needs more information on substance misuse recovery, please contact us today!
