About Ben

A talented, creative, and fun-loving young man, Ben struggled with anxiety and depression and had difficulty finding his voice. Ben wanted to please others, but in doing so lacked the assertiveness and resiliency skills to advocate for his own needs.  This inability resulted in Ben succumbing to peer pressure, leading to recreational drug use, and he developed a substance use disorder (SUD). After a painful infection from an oral surgery procedure, against our directives, Ben was prescribed opioids. He ultimately developed a severe opioid use disorder (OUD). Ben lived with substance use disorders more than eight years, and attempted to overcome it through eleven inpatient rehabs and outpatient programs. Ben experienced a beautiful spiritual awakening through Alcoholics Anonymous, and his faith was deepened. While Ben's life was cut short, his legacy will live on by providing hope, support and resources to many in need. We will never forget Ben, and will speak up to make a difference. Join us.
