Trey uses his experience with addiction in his own family to give readers a better understanding of the effects of substance abuse and how treatment can lead to recovery.
His family has a long history of addiction, and Trey is proud of his family members who have worked hard to reach recovery. His grandfather was in recovery from alcoholism for more than 20 years before he passed away. Trey’s cousins struggled with substance abuse, and his younger brother has been in recovery from a poly-drug use disorder for more than four years.

He hopes to be a reliable resource for people in their time of need and strives to make a difference in the lives of those touched by addiction.
