I come from a culture where drugs were rampant in my community. I have had friends whose parents were victims of substance abuse. I lost my uncle to alcohol abuse 20 years ago. That’s why I treat each client with kindness and compassion because at the end of the day, each client I encounter is someone’s son, brother, husband and/or father and they all deserve a second chance at a better life.”
