Notable qoutes from our nurses!
- "It's different here, there is very little physical work in our field which is beneficial to me due to my past experiences."
- "In this field, instead of you going to the patients, the patients come to you."
- "I was 19 when I started here and now I'm on year 19 and I couldn't imagine doing anyting differnt."
- Rather having to work in a physical intensive environment, I'm able to apply my knowledge to a scenario in a non-labor intensive setting."

Joy Wise
Joy Wise has been working for Greenbriar Treatment Center for 19 years and I feel that it is my home. Addiction is something that reaches out and can touch so many people. I grew up around addiction and recovery so it has a very close tug on my heart. Addiction and recovery do not just affect the person it can affect the whole family.
In May of 2004, Joy was a nursing assistant and is now the Director of Nursing 19 years later. Greenbriar as me the opportunity to continue my education from a nursing assistant to being a licensed practical nurse then obtaining my master’s in nursing by having a flexible work schedule and having encouragement from coworkers and leadership. As far as schooling I have attended many different schools but my final degree is from Walden University for my MSN.
"I have numerous reasons as to why I love working here at Greenbriar first it feels like home. Greenbriar, has given me the ability to lead and the opportunity to help and reach out to the recovery community in different ways. In nursing school I never felt drawn or attracted to “med surg” nursing but as soon as our mental health/ substance abuse my eyes lit up and things just clicked. It’s so much more than giving medications to the patients I treat; it’s about the connections I make with each patient. I wouldn’t trade my employer for anything. Greenbriar has given me this great experience and there’s no turning back."
