Wrapping up an incredible three days at the Addiction Professionals of North Carolina Conference, and what a powerful ending it was.

Today’s closing brought everything full circle—reminding us why we do this work, who we do it for, and the impact we’re capable of when we come together as a field. The final messages were profound, grounding us in purpose and challenging us to take what we’ve learned back into our communities with intention.

We leave this conference not just inspired, but equipped—having spent the last few days learning, connecting, and growing alongside so many dedicated professionals across North Carolina.

ICGH is grateful to be part of this movement and committed to continuing the work of expanding access, building recovery capital, and walking alongside those we serve every step of the way.

Day 2 at the Addiction Professionals of North Carolina Conference did not disappoint.

We had the incredible opportunity to hear from Christian Slater, who shared a deeply personal and powerful account of his recovery journey. He spoke candidly about growing up in the limelight, the intense pressures placed on child stars, and how those experiences shaped his path.

What stood out most was his honesty about the challenges—and the reality that success, fame, and opportunity don’t shield anyone from substance use or struggle. But more importantly, his story is one of resilience, accountability, and rebuilding.

His “second act” is a reminder to all of us in this field: recovery is real, and lives can be restored—no matter where the story begins.

We’re grateful to be in spaces like this, learning, connecting, and continuing to strengthen the work we do every day at ICGH.

Day 1 at the Addiction Professionals of North Carolina Conference and our ICGH team is already making meaningful connections 🤝

We’ve had the opportunity to network with incredible agencies and organizations from across the state—each one bringing passion, innovation, and dedication to the work of recovery. These conversations matter. They strengthen partnerships, spark new ideas, and remind us that we are not doing this work alone.

ICGH is truly honored to stand alongside so many committed professionals as part of the solution here in Western North Carolina. Together, we are closing gaps, expanding access, and building stronger pathways to recovery for the individuals and families we serve.

Today, ICGH Peer Support Specialist Joe Smith was on the ground in Jacksonville supporting veterans at the Irreverent Warriors event. 🇺🇸

After completing the 6.5-mile hike, participants were met with something simple but meaningful—cold Gatorade, encouragement, and connection. Joe spent time handing out drinks and sharing recovery resources with veterans who showed up today not just for the miles, but for their mental health and brotherhood.

As a veteran himself, Joe understands firsthand the importance of showing up for one another. At ICGH, we are proud to support those who have served by connecting them to peer support, recovery services, and Veterans Treatment Court programs.

This is what recovery in action looks like—meeting people where they are, building trust, and reminding our veterans that they are not alone.

Today, our Peer Support Specialist Joe Smith, a proud veteran, had the honor of attending the Irreverent Warriors in Jacksonville, NC—an event dedicated to bringing veterans together, reducing stigma, and preventing su***de through connection and camaraderie.

At ICGH, we recognize that recovery doesn’t look the same for everyone. For many of our veterans, healing happens through community—through shared experiences, humor, and being surrounded by people who truly understand.

Through our work with Veterans Treatment Courts, we have the privilege of walking alongside those who have served our country as they navigate recovery, rebuild their lives, and find purpose beyond their past struggles.

Events like this remind us that connection is powerful. Whether it’s recovery from substance use, mental health challenges, or the invisible wounds of service, no one should have to walk that path alone.

We are proud to support our veterans and honored to have team members like Joe who not only served, but continue to serve in a different way—showing up, standing in the gap, and walking alongside others in their journey.

Recovery is possible. Community makes it sustainable.

Eastern Lifestyle Visits ICGH: Changing the Conversation on Addiction & MAT

At ICGH – Integrated Care for Greater Health, we believe in one simple truth: Recovery, Not Treatment.

We were honored to welcome Kaeli Ricottilli and the Eastern Lifestyle team to our Carolina Wellness inpatient program in Sea Level, North Carolina for an important conversation on stigma, misconceptions, and the reality of recovery.

Too often, individuals receiving Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) are misunderstood. The truth is—MAT saves lives. It stabilizes individuals, restores dignity, and creates a real pathway to long-term recovery.

During the interview, we discussed:

The myths that continue to surround addiction and recovery
Why MAT is evidence-based, effective, and essential
How integrated care models—like those at ICGH—are transforming outcomes in rural North Carolina

This is more than a conversation—it’s a shift in how we think about recovery.

We are proud to lead this work right here in Eastern North Carolina and grateful to partners like Eastern Lifestyle for helping amplify the message.

Because recovery isn’t just possible—it’s happening every day.
