2. What’s your favorite thing about working at SLR?

The entire organizations passion for recovery and the comradery of the entire company from the CEO to the Grounds keepers working as part of a team. Everyone here is committed to helping people recover from addiction and making sure the client has the best experience possible for their recovery.

3. What’s your advice for someone contemplating a major life change (i.e. getting sober/going to treatment)?

spotlight interviewDon’t wait, you deserve to be happy now, if you are thinking about changing your life/getting sober/clean do it now. Often I hear clients say they wish they got help sooner. You have nothing to lose but all the misery, isolation, embarrassment and shame that comes with being in active addiction.
