History of CARA

In 1995, under the leadership and vision of Carolyn Reuben, LAc, CARA became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and began providing acupuncture detoxification services at the Chemical Dependency Center for Women (now Strategies for Change). Since then CARA has added nutrition education, targeted nutritional supplements, healthy meal preparation, and several mind-body integration techniques. CARA's services are now provided at numerous facilities throughout the Sacramento Region, including Sacramento County’s Drug Court Program.
