State Auditor Suzanne Crouch presented a Sagamore of the Wabash to Theresa L. Matthews today for her work treating victims of alcoholism and drug addiction, according to State Rep. Woody Burton.
Matthews is the current CEO of the Tara Treatment Center, an alcohol and drug residential rehabilitation facility. She has been a part of the Tara Treatment Center since its founding in 1985.
“Theresa’s hard work and dedication has helped countless individuals in our community get their lives back,” Burton said. “There are few people who have devoted their life to helping those struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. Theresa’s commitment to the residents of this center is tremendous, and she is truly deserving of this high honor.”
Last year, the Tara Treatment Center celebrated 30 years of providing care to over 30,000 individuals.
A Sagamore of the Wabash award is one of the highest honors the governor of Indiana can bestow upon a Hoosier. Recipients of this award have demonstrated distinguished service to the state.
