Roger Kirby
Roger Kirby, CADC-II is our Executive Director and leads all our treatment programs. He has been leading treatments and consulting with families for over 30 years. He is dedicated to helping people navigate their path through addiction and find their way.
“I’ve been working with individuals and families since 1987. Using loving compassionate therapy to help them to discover their inner truths about how they are experiencing life. If someone is altering their consciousness through a behavior or chemicals to relieve pain, or to feel “normal”, I believe the focus should be on helping them to find the answers within that create illusionary beliefs. Once they find these personal truths, to alter their consciousness would feel abnormal. The Human Being is 99.9% identical; the only differences that separate us are minuscule. So to judge others on those minute details, or to impose personal beliefs on others doesn’t work long term. Acceptance, not expectation is the path to success.”
