Addiction Awareness and Recovery

Donation protected
We rise by lifting others!

Most of us know of somebody around us, in or out of our family circle, who is struggling with addiction. Most of these individuals are extremely kind, smart, and talented but their addiction takes hold of their best qualities.

I have closely observed individuals and their families struggle emotionally, physically, financially, and legally when dealing whith addiction. I have noticed that most of who are imprisoned in the hands of addiction did not get there by choice and deep down in their heart they seek treatment and freedom from it— so do their families. But, due to the stigma and guilt associated with being an addict, many people can feel ashamed to ask for help.

Addiction is a disease. And like any kind of body disease (heart, diabetes, lung, etc), it needs to be treated. Many people are unaware about addiction being a scientifically proven brain disease and end up classifying it as a moral failing instead.

Looking at the extremly high number of people struggling with substance-use disorder, those who are successful at recovering from addiction received the proper treatment needed. Proper treatment involves comprehensive, individualized, and professional care. I think bringing awareness to the disease of addiction and the treatment options for it, have been overly estimated.

I am proud and grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with one of the most well-knows and professional treatment organizations, Ashley Addiction Treatment , for this purpose.

Donations to this page will go towards ADDICTION AWARENESS AND RECOVERY, to support the ASHLEY FAMILY AND CHILDREN PROGRAM FUND and the ASHLEY SCHOLARSHIP FUND of the ASHLEY ADDICTION TREATMENT .

ASHLEY FAMILY AND CHILDREN PROGRAM FUND - you will help nurture addiction free futures. It takes participation from the entire support system to get well and enjoy every day experiences again.

ASHLEY SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS - you will help those unable to afford the cost of treatment find their path to healing and restore their dignity.

Thank you for your attention to this page, and for your support.

Sincerely,
