At Victory, he now leads efforts to expand outreach, partnerships, and resources so more people can access the care they need. The conversation highlights the challenges of connecting treatment centers with the communities they serve and how business development in recovery must balance mission with sustainability. Chris also reflects on the role of family, integrity, and personal values in guiding his work, as well as the real impact Victory has had through its detox, residential, outpatient, dual-diagnosis, and veterans’ programs. This episode is for anyone in recovery, supporting a loved one, or working in addiction treatment. It offers an honest look at the infrastructure behind recovery—and the people who make it possible. 🎧 Tune in to Episode 64 to hear Chris’s journey and the vision he brings to Victory Recovery Center.
