GET TO KNOW SCOTT

“What I love about Healing Transitions is that they don’t give up on people who need help. There were people in my life who didn’t give up on me, and this is the reason I can celebrate 21 years of recovery. There’s no better way for me to celebrate than to give back to my recovery community.”
