Colorado mom became recovery coach after her own son's battle with addiction.
But it didn’t feel that way six years ago, when her son Noah began struggling. Academic troubles led to confidence issues, and then substance abuse. Noah experimented with alcohol and marijuana, eventually moving on to opiates.
“There are 40 million people currently in the US struggling with substance use disorder, which means there are over 100 million family members that are directly affected by this,” she said. An important piece is also helping family members better communicate with their loved one who is going through addiction. She also helps families realize the importance of self-care.
