River Oaks Treatment Center Welcomes New Director of Community Affairs
December 11 2019 - 8:17AM
River Oaks Treatment Center, an American Addiction Centers facility
and leading provider of substance use treatment, has welcomed
Shannan Harris as the facility’s new director of community affairs.
Over the past 20 years, Harris has worked
extensively in healthcare with a number of entities, including
government agencies and non-profit organizations. In her previous
positions, she implemented multiple outreach initiatives that
particularly resonated with minority communities. Her plans for
River Oaks include working with local leaders, corporate executives
and using her governmental and political experience to raise
awareness about the treatment services available to help those
struggling with the disease of addiction.
Addiction is also something she has first-hand
knowledge of as it has impacted her own family. Her stepfather is a
former police officer who struggled with alcohol addiction, and she
has seen the damage it caused. It’s for this reason that working
with first responders and veterans to get them the help they need
is such an important cause to her. River Oaks now offers a
dedicated first responder treatment track.
“In this role, I hope to further incorporate
River Oaks into the fabric of the community,” said Harris. “Nearly
everyone is touched by addiction in some way or another, and I
believe no stone should be left unturned when it comes to raising
awareness about this disease and the treatments available.”
Although Harris is new in her position, she is
already making an impact. Discussions about community events and
partnerships have begun and outreach efforts are underway.
“I’m pleased to have someone of Shannan’s
caliber as River Oaks’ director of community affairs,” said Jeff
Turiczek, CEO of River Oaks Treatment Center. “In a short time,
she’s proven to be instrumental to our operations and I’m looking
forward to her future accomplishments.”
