My name is Drew. As a person in long-term recovery, I was drawn to employment in the treatment of substance use disorders. During my tenure at an inpatient facility, I saw the need for family support and education. I found the barrier of funding, or a lack thereof, to be unacceptable.

In July of 2022, I started a family partnership called Stronger Together. It has become my passion project, which is entirely self-funded and reliant on the generosity of others to help make ends meet. By combining my lived experience with addiction and the feeling of helplessness watching loved ones struggle in the same darkness, along with my ongoing education in the field, I lead families through the chaos and help them find hope.
