Joey grows up in a small town where he struggles with addiction, homelessness, and stigma. Until one day, Joey commits a crime that will propel his life onto a new course.
Guest Bio:
Joey Pagano, MSW, LSW, CRS, is a husband, father, son, veteran, therapist, professor, and, most of all, a recovering addict. His life is dedicated to helping people struggling with addiction. As a mental health therapist and project supervisor at the SPHS Center of Excellence in southwestern Pennsylvania, Pagano works closely with individuals with substance use disorders and mental health issues.
No Addict Left Behind Book Description:
Every addict lives in a war zone. Joey Pagano was no exception. Homeless, penniless, and filled with despair, he routinely fought for his life.
No Addict Left Behind is Pagano’s unflinching personal account of battling addiction. When he was discharged from the military, he was actually left on the side of a highway. ER doctors and nurses begrudged reviving him from an overdose. Society showered him with stigma and shame. Still, some people never gave up on him. And he never gave up on himself.
Today, Pagano is clean and a licensed social worker who helps clients afflicted by addiction. Addiction takes many forms. No Addict Left Behind shares the story of Pagano’s path to get clean while also providing real solutions to help addicts, and those who love them, get clean and find acceptance and peace.
