<p>The path to addiction recovery is literally a fight for your life, one that Sue Harrison’s brother, King, lost in 2016. In their journey of grief, she co-founded King’s Crusade, a non-profit focused on eliminating the stigma that shrouds the disease of addiction. King’s Crusade provides family support and resources for people on the path to sobriety, including assistance in detox placement, transportation to treatment, and helping to defray the costs.</p><p>Across America, nearly 200 people die every day from opioid abuse. Four-in-five opioid addicts, including King, started with an injury and prescription for OxyContin that unravels their life. On average, a sober living move-in fee costs $500-600, and a ride to treatment can cost up to $150, making the decision to get clean impossible for those who need it the most. Donations to King’s Crusade are distributed on a first-need basis, and Sue also works with families to identify public funding to cover treatment. With efforts like hers, its gets better for addicts and their families.</p><p>Contact Information for Kings Crusade:</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.kingscrusade.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.kingscrusade.org/</a></p><p>Phone: 856-874-4444</p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:info@kingscrusade.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@kingscrusade.org</a></p>

<p>Meet Matt Ganem, the CEO of Aftermath Addiction Treatment, and the person on the other end of the phone when It Gets Better podcast’s Rob Demeo started his road to recovery. Growing up in Somerville, Mass., Ganem had a tough upbringing and was on the streets by age 16. Always seeking validation from others, an early love for athletics turned to partying and selling drugs in high school.</p><p>Run-ins with law enforcement did little to curb his habits, which spiraled into daily suicide attempts. By 21, he was hustling enough each day to get high again each night. Finally finding the right combination of recovery and support, Ganem rediscovered a passion for poetry in the halfway house. </p><p>Gaining the acceptance he needed, these poems eventually led to a book, recovery advocacy, and a platform to spread the word of recovery. Hear his story, the work being done by Aftermath Addiction Treatment, and how it gets better.</p><p><strong>Find out more: </strong></p><p>Website: <a href="http://aftermathtreatmentcenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://aftermathtreatmentcenter.com</a> </p><p>Call: (781) 587-3636</p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:mganem@aftermathtc.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mganem@aftermathtc.com</a></p>
