Recovery in Practice: A Personal and Professional Perspective on Addiction and Healing​

Get ready for an unforgettable and empowering presentation from Troy Green, BA, CRSS, CADC—a Recovery Support Specialist and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) at Gateway Foundation and part-time counselor at Stepping Stones in Joliet.

In this powerful webinar, Troy will take you far beyond the textbooks and into the real, raw, and human side of addiction, treatment, and recovery. With honesty and heart, he'll share his personal story of resilience—from dropping out of college and losing a 12-year career, to confronting substance use and mental health challenges, and ultimately reclaiming his life and purpose. Troy will guide you through the treatment process that transformed his life, reveal the tools that supported his long-term recovery, and highlight the critical role of connection and community in healing. You'll also learn how digital recovery apps and tools are revolutionizing access to care and accountability in today's fast-paced world, and why the eight dimensions of wellness are key to building a sustainable, fulfilling life in recovery.

Whether you're a provider, peer, or simply someone who cares, this presentation will leave you inspired, informed, and reminded that recovery is not only possible—it's powerful.
