About Us: Addiction-Recovery-and-Family

Our Journey and Mission

Addiction-Recovery-and-Family was founded in 2017 with a vision to create a comprehensive online resource for individuals and families navigating the complex journey of addiction recovery. The idea emerged from the personal experiences of our founders, who witnessed the lack of accessible, unbiased information available to those seeking support and guidance in their recovery process.

We set out to bridge this gap by establishing a trusted platform that offers evidence-based resources, shares inspiring stories of resilience, and provides a supportive community for all affected by addiction. Over the years, we’ve grown from a modest online publication to a thriving digital hub, becoming a go-to destination for those seeking hope and help.

• 2018: Expanded our team and launched an interactive forum, fostering community engagement.
• 2019: Introduced expert-authored content, enhancing the quality and diversity of our information.
• 2020: Overhauled our website design to improve user experience and accessibility.

• 2022: Celebrated our 5th anniversary, achieving over 1 million page views monthly.
