A Few Words
About Us
After overcoming opiate addiction and spending a year in recovery, S.P.A.R.C. Recovery begain at a small kitchen table in Russell Springs. Very soon after I became sober, I decided that I wanted to work in recovery and with those who were battling with addiction.
Working in recovery has a unique benefit: on the one hand, it enables us to assist people who are struggling with addiction; on the other hand, it ensures that we remain accountable for our sobriety and recovery. One of my goals has been to help those who were helpless, help them regain their self-worth and purpose in life, while providing them with the resources necessary to achieve and maintain recovery.
