Launched March 2020 #WalkAMile Initial Tweet has been viewed over 120k times. You won’t find a more unique and thorough perspective! I love to question the status quo, raise the tough questions, and want to see people with vision! 2019: WRG (Ward Recovery Group) helped in the opening of multiple Suboxone Clinics. Assisted in the Acquisition of a PhP/IOP, 48 bed, I'm an outspoken proponent of the unacceptable failure rate in treatment centers as a whole. Addiction is classified as a disease, and it's killing a generation. Instead of calling a 90% failure rate acceptable (from our courts and insurance companies!), we must put more into research, clinical trials, and better ways to track outcomes. Please do a lot of research prior to sending a loved one to get help, unfortunately the lack of regulations has turned this into a criminal industry. I'm currently working on the solutions that actually address the problem from the macro. In addition, I serve as a patient advocate to those who have become trapped in the maze of this industry. Currently helping those who have been caught in the viscous cycle of rehabs and relapse. I help families find rehabs, IOP's, and sober livings that are well vetted and tailored to the clients needs. Identifying what pitfalls to avoid and questions to ask.-I've met with the White House Drug Czar, executives in the healthcare vertical. and innovators in future treatments, I'm here to change perceptions, ask the tough questions, and highlight the good and bad of the industry! I'm currently working on some exciting projects but am available to opportunities. I've reached 30k connections, so the visibility is a marketing dream. I'm also referring clients on a consistent basis, but currently don't have a specific facility I trust 100%.
