Current Honorees

It is our privilege to honor the following individuals as Recovery Heroes!

Some have national and international impact as leaders of:

• significant residential recovery ministries and clinical addiction treatment programs
• large faith-based or secular addiction recovery networks or associations representing hundreds or thousands
• government agencies that have excelled in improving care for people struggling with addiction and/or HIV/AIDS
• shifting paradigms and public perception of addiction recovery through their books, articles and lectures.  

But most of these courageous Heroes are people just like you!

Men and women around the world who are in the trenches every day, reaching out to help people recover their possibilities!

Check back as we add new Heroes in the months ahead!  Meet more Recovery Heroes on the ISAAC page and on YouTube.
