TONY MESSBARGER

Summary of Qualifications

For over 15 years I've coached and guided families through the difficult process of getting the addicted and their families on the journey towards wellness. Through my own struggle with addiction, I realized that my purpose in life was to help others struggling with chemical dependency and made it my life’s work. I helped develop admissions programs for several highly recognized rehabilitation facilities while serving as Director of Admissions. In addition, I developed post treatment solutions including monitoring programs to insure a continuum of care is followed. A nationally certified interventionist, family recovery coach and VA certified PTSD recovery coach, I work with some of the more difficult cases where a formal intervention is required. My passion, dedication, and heart-felt commitment to serving others provides the families I work with the confidence and support they need to make the transition into recovery for them and their loved one as smooth as possible.
