We’re grateful to McKnight's Home Care for spotlighting the important work of Caron’s Amber Deckard, Psy.D., a Marine Corps veteran and psychologist dedicated to helping fellow service members heal from invisible wounds.

In the story, Dr. Deckard discusses the realities many veterans face — trauma, stigma, isolation — and why personalized home-based support can make such a meaningful difference in long-term recovery.

While this past Veterans Day provided an opportunity to recognize the service and sacrifices made by those in the armed forces, many veterans still suffer from old wounds. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) continue to afflict vets who return from conflict.

Thank you to all the alumni, families, and friends who joined us for the 2025 Caron Florida Alumni Reunion. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, celebrate recovery milestones, and reconnect as a community.

From Friday’s recovery meeting and welcome dinner at The Keele Center to Saturday’s program, breakfast, awards, and self-care workshops at The Seagate Hotel, Golf & Beach Club, Autograph Collection, the entire weekend was filled with reflection, support, and meaningful connection.

A special congratulations to this year’s award recipients:

✨ Lori P. — Alumnus of the Year

Caron Treatment Centers is proud to be featured in the Washington Post for our innovative work exploring how GLP-1 medications may help reduce cravings and support recovery from substance use disorders.

The story highlights the leadership of Drs. Steven Klein and Mo Sarhan, whose clinical expertise and compassionate approach are helping us better understand how emerging medical tools can complement evidence-based addiction treatment. While research is still early and GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for this use, this work represents an important step toward expanding treatment options for individuals seeking lasting recovery.

We’re grateful to The Washington Post for elevating this important conversation, and to our clinicians who continue to advance science-informed, patient-centered care every day.

We are honored to stand alongside Gregg’s Gift, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering teens, young adults, and families seeking recovery from addiction.

Through prevention education, treatment scholarships, transportation support, and sober community programs, Gregg’s Gift transforms lives — helping individuals and families find healing and lasting recovery.

“This was the 15th annual Gregg’s Gift Comedy Night, and Caron has been a partner since the beginning. Together we've helped over 70 young adults come to Caron for treatment,” says Todd Whitmer, National Gift Officer.

Thank you, Gregg’s Gift, for your tireless commitment to breaking stigma and bringing light to those on the path to recovery.

On this Veterans Day, we honor and thank all who have served our country -- and the families who stand beside them.

At Caron, we see every day how courage takes many forms. Dr. Amber Deckard, a Marine Corps veteran and psychologist, reminds us that healing invisible wounds requires compassion, understanding, and science working together.

To every veteran: we are deeply grateful for your service, your sacrifice, and your resilience.

New brain imaging technology helps veterans with PTSD and trauma find healing through objective evidence of invisible injuries, offering hope beyond traditional care.
