My guest is Drew LaBoon, who is the Director of Admission and Outreach for Country Road Recovery Center, a Pathways Treatment Facility. He has been there since June 2020. Prior to that, he worked various jobs in the defense contracting industry following his retirement from the military in 2016.
Drew served honorably under United States Special Operations Command for 17 years, has 13 combat deployments, and numerous awards and decorations. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Boston College in 2017 and originally planned on working for the intelligence community. His career in drugs and alcohol started shortly after.
Drew’s experience with addiction and alcoholism extends to both his personal and professional life. Two inpatient treatment episodes, and 5 detox treatment centers over a 4-year period provide him with an intimate understanding of addiction. In 2019, Drew admitted to residential treatment for the final time at the facility he now works for. Country Road Recovery Center, along with actions taken in a 12-step recovery program, saved his life. Sharing his experience, strength and hope is the keystone of his own recovery; helping others know they are not alone, and recovery is possible.
