Rise Recovery 2022/23 Speaker Series
Please join us for our first-ever speaker series held in our new facilities at the Rise Recovery Charlie Naylor Campus. Our new home is open, and we welcome the community in to learn about substance use issues and how Rise Recovery provides the tools needed for teens, young adults and their families to overcome the effects of drugs and alcohol.
Rise Recovery has made many friends in the community over our 45 years of service to San Antonio’s youth. In our beautiful new space, we can now showcase their contributions to our mission and the participants we serve. Every speaker is different with incredibly interesting backgrounds and skill sets. Despite their differences, they all have been touched by or currently work with people affected by substance use issues. Their valuable insight into addiction, recovery and everything that goes with that will help us start the conversations that need to be had for the sake of our young people and the community.
Friends of Rise Recovery (our monthly donors) can choose
any one of the speakers to attend for FREE as our thank you for your continuous support!

The last collegiate game for Damon West as QB for North Texas against Texas A&M resulted in a career-ending injury. His all-American path took a very unexpected turn towards substance use and ultimately a 65-year prison sentence. Then, a seed of hope entered his life in the form of a fellow prisoner. Damon West is bestselling author of The Coffee Bean: A Simple Lesson to Create Positive Change and The Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life in Prison Transformed His World. We are so excited to bring his inspiring message to San Antonio and YOU!
