A Fond Farewell to Therapy Dog Tucker
A Fond Farewell to Therapy Dog Tucker

There's something special about therapy dogs that makes them irreplaceable. They provide comfort in moments of distress and are always there to give us a furry hug when we need it most. It was an emotional day at Sacramento ARISE and EMPOWER as the team said goodbye to their beloved therapy dog, Tucker.

About the Program: At the Telecare EMPOWER (Enhancing Mental Health through Positivity, Opportunity, Wellness, Engagement, and Resources) program, you have the ability to connect with a group of people who are here to be your support team.

We believe that recovery starts from within and will do whatever it takes to work with you on your recovery journey. We have a multidisciplinary team that includes prescribers, a clinical director, a program administrator, an LVN, a psychiatrist, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, a team lead/therapist, a peer recovery coach, and personal service coordinators who have experience in drug, alcohol, and mental health treatment, who are all here to help you on your path.

Our program is based on the Full Services Partnership (FSP) model. Our staff create a supportive environment and provide wraparound services that are based upon members’ needs, hopes, and dreams. We also connect members to community resources so they can continue their recovery outside of the program.
