New members of the Asana Recovery team
We would like to welcome new members of staff!
Crystal Beyerlein- Behavorial Health Technician
Crystal has a passion for learning, healing, helping, and being part of change in the substance epidemic. She says that working in a treatment facility is a way for her to give back what was so freely given to her: “There’s a fulfillment I get watching people grow and give themselves a chance at a beautiful life without substances.” She believes there is a better way of life and that it is possible for anyone.
In her free time, she enjoys hiking, eating, painting, reading, sketching, and hanging out with her friends, brother, and her father, who is her best friend. She finds happiness in her two boys and their health and happiness. She also is a big fan of lots of coffee, blank canvases, music, nature, and the woods.
At Asana Recovery, Crystal works as a Behavioral Health Technician, where she informs patients about their medication, performs client rounds, works closely with the medical team, and creates medical documentation.
Andrew Venegas - Medical Technician
Andrew went to the University of New Mexico from 2018-2020 and studied EMS before joining Asana Recovery. Here, he works as a Medical Technician where he conducts nursing assessments and medication monitoring. He is also responsible for maintaining documentation, observing clients, collecting samples, and informing clients about their medication and the program.
When not at work, Andrew loves to play sports, hike, surf, and play a variety of instruments. He shares his home with a fat cat named Sammy, who he considers his fur baby.
Danny Dalton- Behavioral Health Technician
Danny got started in the addictions industry because he finds happiness in watching people recover and has a strong compassion for those struggling with addiction. He is also a recovering addict, and has been in recovery for four years. Danny believes that the addictions industry is crucial in the foundation of anyone trying to get their life back.
Before working in the additions industry, Danny was a touring golf professional. He attended the University of California at Los Angeles on a golf scholarship and majored in history. He enjoys playing all types of sports, including basketball, hiking, water and snow skiing, and bodysurfing.
He also enjoys spending time with his family who live nearby. Danny says it is a blessing to have his mother, sister and her husband, and his three nieces living nearby. He shares his home with a Yorkie named Dylan.
As a Behavioral Health Technician at Asana Recovery, Danny can often be found working with both clients and staff to provide assistance in observation and maintaining client health. He also works to provide knowledge about medications and communicates with physicians on the status of clients.
