Sherry Lucke
When I started working in healthcare as a cardiac nurse I saw the widespread effects of addiction. Since, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people overcome substance use disorders. I use a compassionate and supportive approach along with the top medical interventions. The approach I take with clients has been influenced by my experience at the bedside as a clinical care nurse and my training as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. This enables me to support clients in their overall health as well as their behavioral health. In addition to being able to prescribe and manage general medications, I hold a waiver to treat clients with opioid use disorder using buprenorphine. I focus on treating the whole person, not just on substance use.
