I didn't just have to resort on alcohol, I could do drugs and drink more... That event, coupled with always kind of feeling like I didn't belong or that I needed to do other things to fit in that event, changed my life forever.
Chris Riley's story is one of resilience, transformation, and dedication. In this episode of 'Recovery On-Air', Donna and Beth sit down with Chris, the Chief Compliance Officer at Crossroads, to hear his powerful journey. From his service in the US Army to his role at Crossroads, Chris opens up about the emotional toll of trauma and loss that led him to his current path in addiction recovery.
He doesn't shy away from discussing the tough topics—peer-driven care, the complexities of compliance in addiction treatment, and the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic. But what stands out most is his emphasis on the power of community and family support in overcoming addiction. Chris's candid discussion sheds light on how Crossroads' programs are making a difference for individuals and families battling substance use disorders.
Whether you're a parent, family member, or someone struggling with addiction yourself, Chris's story offers hope and insight into the journey from struggle to triumph.
