Asana Recovery Weekly Team Update
Opening of New Sober Living Facility, New Team Members, and Local Food Suggestions
Here is this week’s update for Asana Recovery team members:
Beachfront Sober Living facility opening
Asana Recovery is proud to announce the opening of Beachfront Sober Living Apartments, located in Huntington Beach. Clients moved in on February 24th.
Sober living facilities provide an intermediate step between rehab and full independence. They help to reinforce the lifestyle habits taught during in-patient treatment, and help clients integrate back into life after rehab.
New members of the Asana Recovery team
We would like to welcome new members of staff!
Amber Vaughan- Clinical Outreach Associate
Amber is an avid photographer and owns her own photography business. She loves to travel the world and take photos, and recently lived in Mexico to pursue a passion project in photography. She has three children who mean the world to her, as well as two dogs, a Lab and a Great Dane.
In 2012, she received a Bachelor of Science from Liberty University. When she is not busy with photography, she enjoys spending time with her kids, adventuring outdoors, free-diving, and reading.
At Asana Recovery, Amber works as a Clinical Outreach Associate. She engages potential clients and markets the services offered at Asana Recovery. Her role also involves referring potential clients to the Admissions Team to complete the admissions process.
Working in the addictions industry is important to Amber because she has seen the power of lives changed through recovery, community, and education.
Carolina Ila- Medical Technician
Carolina works in the addictions industry so that she can help others find the light in their hardest moments. She is currently enrolled in a nursing program and joins Asana Recovery as a Medical Technician. She is responsible for collecting samples for the lab, informing clients about their medications, charting and monitoring patients, and providing nursing assessments.
When she is not at work, Carolina enjoys hiking, singing, laughing until her cheeks hurt, and spending time out in nature with her 16 year old puppy named Ruby.
Erika Rodriguez- Medical Technician
Erika works as a Medical Technician at Asana Recovery and got started in the addictions industry because she wants to help a community who has been overlooked and underserved for so long. In her role, she is responsible for nursing assessments, medication monitoring, and documentation. She is also often busy observing clients, recording their progress, and providing medical data to clinical staff.
She is currently enrolled at Santa Ana college, where she is completing her fourth Associate’s degree. In her spare time, she loves to cook, bake, and spend time with her husband and daughter. She also enjoys spending time outdoors.
