Before joining Zia Recovery Center, Samantha had a strong interest in working in the recovery field and witnessing the resilience individuals demonstrate when prioritizing their recovery. Having never been an addict herself, Samantha did not fully appreciate the challenges many people face until she began working at Zia Recovery Center. Observing clients persevere through the program has been deeply rewarding and continually reinforces Samantha’s belief that recovery is possible.
“I came here not knowing what recovery truly looked like. Now I see it every day in the people who walk through these doors, and it reminds me why this work matters.”
