Tom's Story
Tom's Story
I was born and raised in Maryland, where I built what appeared to be a successful career in corporate America. Beneath the surface, however, I struggled with deep-seated insecurities and a growing dependence on substances to cope. Over time, my life unraveled, leading to homelessness and multiple incarcerations. This, combined with the devastating loss of both my mother and uncle to substance use disorder profoundly impacted my life and ignited a fierce determination to help others break free from this destructive cycle.
Through years of personal experience and subsequent work in the field, I’ve gained a deep understanding of addiction and the complexities of overcoming it. I’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of this disease and the incredible power of human resilience. At Summit, I’ve used the sum of my experience and knowledge to create a transformative environment that addresses the whole person, combining clinical expertise with a strong emphasis on spiritual growth and social connection. Our programs offer evidence-based therapies, holistic treatments, peer support, and aftercare planning to empower individuals to overcome addiction and build fulfilling lives.
