The Chadwick House is a women's sober living home that recently opened in Orange County California, alongside it's big brother in the recovery community The Ohio House. The Chadwick House offers a safe and effective place for women to get clean and sober and have a chance at a better life.

Ryan Hampton is a featured contributor to the Huffington Post on addiction and politics. He currently serves as the Los Angeles outreach lead for Facing Addiction, a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to ending the addiction crisis in America. Hampton, along with his best friend Garrett Hade, produced a 7-part documentary series, Facing Addiction Across America, chronicling their cross-country journey to the DNC advocating for reform and seeking out other like-minded people in long-term recovery to join the growing movement to end the addiction epidemic. For his work on the #AddictionXAmerica project, Hampton has been called "the guy changing the way America looks at addiction." His journey has been featured by the Huffington Post, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, CBS, NBC, and Dr. Oz.

Garrett Hade serves as the Los Angeles outreach coordinator for Facing Addiction.
