The Empowerment Center

TEC uses concepts and tools taught in most traditional treatment centers, and takes them one-step further, by applying them to daily living. Residents are required to attend recovery meetings, work with sponsors, and practice honesty and integrity while working the 12-steps of recovery. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reported that individuals cannot be healthy without positive mental health and freedom from addictions and substance abuse. Prevention, treatment, and recovery support services for behavioral health are important parts of health service systems and community-wide strategies that work to improve health status and lower costs for individuals, families, businesses, and governments. Achieving a high quality, self-directed, satisfying life integrated in a community includes:
• Health: Overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) as well as living in a physically and emotionally healthy way
• Home: A stable and safe place to live that supports recovery
• Purpose: Meaningful daily activities, such as a job, school, volunteerism, family caretaking, or creative endeavors, as well as the independence, income, and resources to participate in society
• Community: Relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope

TEC’s program works to address each of these components. (Health) Each resident embarks on a proven program of recovery where they address their addictions, alcoholism, and underlying issues. (Home) Recognizing that a stable home environment is essential to successful recovery, TEC provides this to individuals who share the common goal of recovery. Daily check-ins and reasonable curfews create a healthy structured environment. (Purpose) The current Workforce Development Specialist has again achieved 100% client employment prior to program completion. By providing clients with the knowledge obtained through employment classes, each client learns the skills necessary to seek and maintain long-term employment. (Community) A community in and of itself, TEC clients cook together, clean together, and attend meetings together; simply put they live life together creating a close knit community.

The Empowerment Center is proud to partner with the UNR School of Social Work's Field Education program!

Since 2022, we’ve been working with interns pursuing both Masters and Bachelors degrees. Each student is given a list of local organizations to choose from and applies for positions matching their values and interests. This past semester, we’ve been grateful for Amy Aranda’s and Brianna Bedient’s help as they’ve completed their internships with TEC.

Congratulations, Roxanne!
Over the weekend The Empowerment Center attended the Recovery Gala held at The Renaissance Hotel in downtown Reno, NV. There our Director, Roxanne DeCarlo was awarded the "People's Choice Award."

This is what she had to say: "This award was meaningful because there was a time when no one talked about addiction or mental health. Now people are talking, lives are changing and this is something to celebrate."
