Prior to joining La Hacienda, Elizabeth served as Director of National Outreach for an extended care facility. There, she specialized in working with national accounts and assisting families, excelling due to her dedication to recovery, her desire to help those in need, and her affinity for connecting with people and building relationships.
As Director of Business Development, Elizabeth oversees representatives in cities around Texas who represent La Hacienda to potential clients, referral sources, and other treatment facilities. She is also responsible for alumni and continuing care.
“I love leading such a dynamic team. Each member brings a special set of skills, and each teaches the whole team their strengths. I love working with people to enhance skills that they may not realize they have.”
Elizabeth enjoys being part of “an extremely ethical organization that truly does the right thing.”
“We have so many staff for whom it is not just a personal mission, but it’s also a spiritual one. That to me is incredibly important.”
It is also empowering that La Hacienda offers a12 step-based approach to treatment.
“People truly get an introduction to the 12 steps here. The message of freedom is in those steps. Anybody can go to treatment, but if you give them something that they can use for the rest of their lives, such as the 12 steps, that’s what matters.”
