She has seen many of her previous clients become dynamic leaders in the addiction field and other fields which makes her know that treatment not only works but can make us dynamic. Gail’s currently serves as Director of the Family and Alumni Program at Blue Ridge. It is her favorite role so far because she sees not only clients heal from the ravages of addiction but also their families. She feels it is an honor and privilege to serve Blue Ridge Recovery Center.
