The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 17 Veterans die by suicide each day in the U.S. At Greenhouse, our goal is to decrease the numbers of Veterans who end their lives by giving them the chance to receive the essential care they need.
Maria Esther Ontiveros—our clinical lead therapist—and the rest of our team at Greenhouse Treatment Center understand the importance of a lifelong commitment to recovery, so we help our Vets and first responders create a plan and access aftercare resources so they have the support necessary to sustain long-term recovery.
