The people in our lives always leave an impression, for better or worse. Some are more or less impactful, and some are irrevocably pivotal. In any scenario, who you work with could be the difference between success and failure. But this is never more true than when navigating the substance use and dual diagnosis disorder space.
At The Last Resort, we’ve hand-selected a team of the industry’s most capable and compassionate providers and professionals to ensure your treatment experience is as positive and beneficial as possible. These are your champions.
Bill and Ann Schneider have served in the alcohol and drug treatment field for more than 30 years. Having personally dealt with close friends and family members who struggled with addiction, they were deeply connected to seeking real, practical solutions.
The Schneiders were among some of the first to recognize what traditional 12-step treatment centers too often miss: Underlying trauma and mental illness.
Treating one without addressing the other leads to ineffective solutions and relapse, thus continuing the cycle of addiction.
In 1994, the Schneiders responded to this catastrophic gap in the industry and opened The Life Healing Center of Santa Fe in New Mexico. They launched and operated the center with a deep commitment to providing the highest-quality patient care paired with the latest successes in evidence-based treatment.
They designed a treatment model that combined mental and behavioral health, traditional 12-step programs, spiritual guidance, and social support to curate an elevated client experience.
Fast-forward to 2012, when Bill and Ann created The Last Resort Recovery, a tranquil 55-acre campus adjoining the beautiful Texas hill country. The setting was new, but the approach was the same: To blend the spiritual strength of original pioneer recovery with the very latest in trauma-informed, evidence-based programming.
