Joseph was still struggling with his addiction when he arrived at TRC, but after a traumatic incident, he embraced the encouragement and support of the staff and has now been clean for over 10 months.

"They saw something in me I didn't see in myself," he said. He has made some incredible strides since then, getting a job doing custodial work in the E.R. at North Shore Hospital, paying off his debts, getting a car, and building up his credit.

He has no plans to slow down either, his goal is to buy his own condo, get a CDL and own his own trucking business. We're rooting for you, Joseph!
