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.
