On behalf of the entire Casa Treatment Center Team, we would like to extend our heartfelt concerns for you, your family, and our entire community during this difficult time. We sincerely hope you are safe from the ongoing fires.
Out of an abundance of caution for our clients and staff, Casa was temporarily closed. However, after thorough safety assessments and precautions, we are now open and available to provide you with support. We greatly appreciate the outpouring of support for our staff and clients. As we move forward, let us lean on each other for strength and work together to rebuild and heal.
If you would like to help, we are collecting gift cards for our clients that have been impacted by the Eaton Fire. Should you wish to donate a gift card, please email hschenk@casatreatmentcenter.org.
