A message from the Executive Director
We have been working diligently at Straight & Narrow to maintain the safety of our therapeutic community and implement precautionary measures to best protect our client's and staff during this health pandemic.
In the midst of the current health crisis, we at Straight & Narrow remain operational servicing our most vulnerable populations during this time when support, compassion and understanding are needed most.
Straight & Narrow has become one of the largest organizations of its kind due to our committed and professional staff who provide services tirelessly each day to ensure our clients receive a holistic approach to treatment and promote overall wellness and recovery.
I would like to thank each of our staff and show our appreciation for all that you do for the agency and most importantly for our clients. During this time of great concern, staff have united, report to work to help support one another, motivate each other daily, and keeping in line with our mission, provide help and create hope to those most in need.
We couldn't do what we do each and every day without our most valuable asset - our committed and dedicated staff.
