Archway, the largest recovery high school in the nation, provided him with the support and care he desperately needed. He shares how the compassionate staff and tailored programs at Archway helped him realize that he could turn his life around, even after almost dropping out of high school. But Andrew's story doesn't end there.
He talks about the continuum of care available in Houston and how collegiate recovery programs equipped him with the tools to succeed not just in sobriety but in life. Now, as a teen recovery coach and an alumnus of Archway, Andrew emphasizes the importance of therapeutic relationships between staff and students. He also highlights the value of maintaining connections with alumni and sponsors, which played a crucial role in his own recovery.
From finding work-life balance to participating in wellness events at Archway, Andrew's journey is filled with moments of triumph and self-discovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for a story of hope and resilience. Tune in to hear how Andrew Warren turned his life around and is now helping others do the same.
