How It Started
What started as a family’s desperate search for ways to support their son and the thousands of young people struggling with substance use disorder-well beyond medications and traditional counseling, proved to be the springboard to a new and innovative approach to reducing the risk of a setback . The goal is to create that high, the euphoria that some seek through heroin and other substances, through life-changing experiences, reconnection of relationships, a sense of belonging, travel, and volunteerism. With the help of a network of caring adults willing to do whatever it takes to help others stay off drugs and on the road to successful recovery, those with a substance use disorder can find a new joy in life, purpose, a feeling of self-worth and the empowering optimism to know they can beat addiction, feel like they belong, are part of something impactful, and can function successfully once again.

about the founder
Nadine Blase Psareas, Founder/CEO
Born in New York and a Georgia resident since 1985, Nadine Blase Psareas is the proud mother of six and grandmother of three. She earned her B.S.Ed. from the University of Georgia and spent 10 years as an educator in local schools before her journey expanded into health, recovery, and community advocacy.
Nadine is a Board Certified Clinical Addictions Counselor, Integrative Nutritional Health Coach, and Licensed Brain Health Trainer through the Amen Clinics. She has become known for her ability to merge evidence-based recovery practices with holistic approaches that honor mind, body, and spirit.
In 2016, Nadine piloted an out-of-the-box therapeutic recovery initiative by bringing individuals in recovery from substance use disorder to Guatemala, where they helped build schools in impoverished communities. This project launched the birth of Hopedealers Worldwide, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to serving individuals and families impacted by addiction through crisis intervention, education, peer support, treatment placement, and long-term recovery sustainability.
Nadine’s work has been widely recognized. In 2018, she became the first recipient of the prestigious “Rudy Award,” presented by football legend Rudy Ruettiger, honoring her for exemplifying the “4 C’s”: character, commitment, contribution, and courage. In 2019, she was a Legacy Award Nominee at Aurea McGarry’s Legacy Summit, and later achieved international acclaim as a #1 Best-Selling Author of Hope Dealers: The Calling, The Struggles, The Breakthroughs, and The Community of Believers.
In 2020, Nadine and her team co-founded the Recovery Organization of Cherokee County (ROCC), a safe clubhouse for individuals maintaining recovery. By 2025, Hopedealers Worldwide had served more than 16,000 clients, and Nadine, alongside her husband Peter, launched the Sprouts of Hope Scholarship—an annual award that sends two recipients to a full three-week Life Transformation Program at Hippocrates Wellness in West Palm Beach, FL..
Her commitment to others, however, came at a personal cost. After 2 solid years of neglecting her own health while “addicted to saving the world,” Nadine arrived at Hippocrates Wellness on February 2, 2025, her body had begun falling apart, facing severe burnout, dangerous blood pressure, multiple medications, and compromised kidney and liver function. In just one year of commitment to her own recovery, she embraced the lifestyle changes she once counseled others to follow—reclaiming her health, shedding 67 pounds, and restoring balance to her life.
Today, Nadine continues to lead Hopedealers Worldwide with renewed strength and passion, living proof of the transformative power of recovery, self-healing, and hope.
