At Simon House, we see every day that recovery is possible — even when someone feels they’ve run out of chances.
Richard came to Simon House believing he had two options: treatment or prison. What he found instead was accountability, compassion, and people who believed in him before he could believe in himself. Through recovery, he rebuilt relationships with his family, found purpose in supporting others, and discovered that healing happens one day at a time.
Today, Richard speaks openly about the power of asking for help and the importance of community in recovery. His story is a reminder that people are more than their worst moments, and that hope can begin with one person willing to say, “You are worth supporting.”
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, know this: recovery is possible, and you do not have to walk through it alone.
