Meet Alisia
I FOUND MY PASSION
A Milestone team member for more than 23 years, Alisia Buggs is the Program Supervisor at Milestone’s Community Residential Rehabilitation (CRR) program Southwell site. If you talk with Alisia for even a short time, you’ll know she’s very proud of her program – and justifiably so.
I witness positive growth and change in the persons in our program. With time, we see our individuals managing their medications, learning to cook, improving their hygiene and gaining the skills they need for securing employment.
