Hello Zack! Thank you so much for working in this space. I am a recovered opiate addict, who benefited from medication-assisted treatment a few years ago. I have come a long way from being homeless and living on the street in Austin, Texas for 2 years. I am now a good father and husband, and I have a pretty damn good job too. It was truly a life and death struggle, against HUGE odds, and I'm definitely one of the lucky ones.

You're correct that this is a tough space. I've been in and out of the "recovery community" for a couple of decades, and I think you may have only scratched the surface of how complex this market is. I would love to chat. I think I may have some good ideas for breaking through those barriers you're facing. I've created this burner to respond (re:stigma)and I've also created a burner email. Hit me up at the mail service of proton with the name "30days1000nights"
