with integrity

Santé was created by brother and sister clinical power duo, Rip Corley, RN, LMSW-ACP and Deb Corley, PhD, LMFT, LCDC, LSOTP, CSAT, CMAT. “ e decision to open Santé came when the siblings decided they wouldn’t continue to work for companies where all decisions were based on what was best for the company instead of what was best for the client.” Santé’s Hollie Higgins said. “ eir maverick spirits built Santé from the ground up with long-term recovery in mind for the client. We celebrate them and 25 years of impact this year.”

“In the last 25 years the world has made

addiction, the impact of trauma, the importance of mental health, and research-based interventions for recovery. These are real and serious issues.” Hollie said. “Our hope is that in the next 25 years, our world’s collective understanding shifts to treat issues above the neck as seriously as we do below the neck. No one treats issues below the neck, like physical illnesses, as if they are a choice, a moral failure, or only needing minimal intervention. Addiction is a chronic, debilitating, and sometimes fatal disease; why treat it any differently?”

Not only does Santé offer quality care for their clients (more than 5,000 in the last 25 years), they also offer support for their family and friends as well. “We teach them about addiction, family roles, getting their own support, in addition to how to best promote recovery for their loved one. The goal is for their loved one to come home a better version of themselves; all involved will feel and experience the shift,” said COO Sam Slaton, M.Ed., LPC-S, MBA. “There’s a shift in dynamics but it’s a shift in the right direction towards hope, health and continued healing.”

With a highly trained and credentialed staff, their breathtaking facility located on 16 acres, and the entire staff’s commitment to care for each client individually and with integrity, it’s easy to see why Santé Center for Healing is held at an elite status in From le to right: Dennis Wade, CEO (23 years at Santé), Sam Slaton, COO (18 years), Hollie Higgins, Development Director (9 years).
