Dear SASSI colleagues and friends,
As has become our tradition, we would like to extend our warm holiday greetings to you and your loved ones. This end-of-year message also allows us to inform you of our newest developments, initiatives and plans.
We continue to focus our efforts on better assisting all of you in doing the valued work of treating, helping, and addressing the many issues your clients face daily and doing it with passion and dedication. In 2026 and the years to follow, we will be providing you with new and exciting tools to further help in treating your clients. This coming year we are planning initiatives that will better capture your needs, as expressed by your surveys and postings to us. Our plans include the ability for you to customize reports and various toolboxes that will allow you to focus on the specific needs of your clients. Among other things, we will enhance our focus on co-morbidities, the needs of special populations and the more recent proliferation of substances like isotonitazene, a drug about one hundred to one thousand times more potent than morphine that has emerged as a primary drug on the illicit market. It sometimes feels like we can never get ahead of these onslaughts of new and deadlier substances. Please stay in touch with us and check out our blogs as we report the many things we will have available as they happen. We remain grateful and thankful for your many efforts and the challenges you face. As always, we remain a phone call or email away from helping you in your missions, so we can better fulfill our own, providing the necessary tools and assistance to those that assist others.
Many have lost family, friends and loved ones to various issues, and our hearts go out to them; but especially to those that we have lost to the various sequalae of addiction, disease, overdose and any combination of complications. May you be now joined by the higher power of your choosing, and with the love from those that preceded you, as well as those that will miss you here. It is our sincerest hope that your pains and sorrows may ease over time. For those that continue in their struggles in their fights against the many ravages of addiction, there is always hope, help, and survival tools. Continue to demonstrate that inner strength and believe that you indeed have the power to change and find that personal place where you can achieve whatever you desire. And please know that you do not have to do it alone, one day or moment at a time, keep the fight alive. Please know that we are all in your corner.
In the meantime, our Board of Directors, senior management, consultants, contractors and myself, want to share that we are available to you, and reassure you that we remain committed to providing the critical assistance so many of you seek to help your clients. There are no words sufficient to thank you for the work you do, the struggles you engage in and your quests to help those less fortunate than ourselves. For that and so many more reasons, we at The SASSI Institute share our thanks, gratitude and admiration!
We will continue doing our best to allow you, our licensees and collaborators, to continue to do your jobs, offer your many services and continue to assist those that need us the most. I am extremely proud of our staff and the non-stop work they have continued to perform. In closing, we all wish you a happy holiday season and a happy and healthy year full of joy.
