GET TO KNOW:

John Swartz

Q: What motivates you to work in the treatment field?

A: What motivates me to work in the treatment field is the negative and positive experiences I have had personally.  I never wanted anyone to feel like a number or a filled bed but as an actual person. As well as how people took the time to challenge me and support me in my own personal recovery. If it was for the people who pushed me and supported me in my own healing and recovery I would not be here today.   

Q: Any words of reassurance or comfort for those taking the first step towards recovery?

A: Whether you are calling for yourself or a loved one. You are worth it, you are enough, you deserve to heal and live a full free life.

Q: What motivates you to work in the treatment field?

A: As cliche as it sounds it really is about helping people. There were people that were there for my family when I was struggling so I feel it’s my responsibility to be that same thing for others. 

Q: Any words of reassurance or comfort for those taking the first step towards recovery?

A: Life will take on a meaning beyond anything you can visualize for yourself today. The most common trait of people who achieve a full life of sobriety is that they don’t quit. Don’t worry about doing things perfectly, just commit to yourself that you’re going to do whatever it takes.

Q: What motivates you to work in the treatment field?

A: I was an addict without hope. I believed that I would die in my addiction. I want to help other    people who are feeling hopeless and serve as an example. 

Q: Any words of reassurance or comfort for those taking the first step towards recovery?

A: Treatment is a beautiful gift. It is not a punishment. Give yourself the gift and be the happiest, healthiest person you can be.

Q: What motivates you to work in the treatment field?

A: The addiction treatment field provides an opportunity to challenge and break down the stigmas associated with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. I aim to contribute to a society that views addicted individuals not as having a moral failing or lack of willpower, but someone that is deserving of support and care. 

Q: Any words of reassurance or comfort for those taking the first step towards recovery?

A: For those who are new to the recovery journey, my advice would be to not worry about what the future holds. You don’t need to understand the long game, the five-year plan, or even what tomorrow will look like. You only need to find the next right step, and then put one foot in front of the other. These small, incremental steps, which may seem insignificant at the time, will eventually amount to some monumental shifts in your life.

Q: What motivates you to work in the treatment field?

A: The biggest thing that I’ve found in my recovery is the ability to help others based off my experience with alcohol and drugs. I found a purpose that I never had before. 

Q: Any words of reassurance or comfort for those taking the first step towards recovery?

A: Experience of what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now. Sometimes it’s hard to see any hope. Everything is dark and it seems there is no way out. My job is to be a beacon and help guide them towards a glimpse of light.
