SeekHealing is a 501(c)3 non-profit serving people at risk for overdose. We provide free support services to anyone at any stage in the addiction healing process.
Addiction is an adaptation.
It’s not you.
It’s your cage. Johann Hari
How do we build a community that is inherently resilient to addiction?
- Public harm reduction education: training in overdose reversal and redefining addiction
- Community treatment program: see “How SeekHealing Works”
- Open door policy: current drug users, abstinence-only, and medication-assisted treatment all welcome
- Ongoing support: pairing with trained volunteers, community activities, and therapeutic services
- Training in authentic connection: how to better listen to others and yourself
SeekHealing is a community-sourced treatment model that empowers seekers to heal, rather than requiring addicts to achieve certain outcomes.
Addiction cannot be healed unless its source in childhood suffering is addressed, and unless the cycles of relapse are stopped through empathic human connections. SeekHealing is dedicated to healing trauma, and it provides the necessary connections that empower people to break from that self-defeating cycle. Gabor Maté, M.D.

What do you want to do?
Before SeekHealing, I lived my life in the shadows. I kept different parts of myself hidden from everyone in my life: I was a different person at work than I was with my family, than with my girlfriend, than with my drug dealer. Now, I live my life in the light. I’m living the life I want to live, and I’m being honest with the people around me about who I am, about what I do and don’t want to do. It’s because I have people to talk to about what’s really going on, people who care about me and who will listen to me and not judge me for which chemicals I choose to use or not use. Travis P.
SeekHealing participant and former heroin user
I have attended rehab nine times. All the months I spent in rehab, everything I learned, does not compare with how valuable one weekend with Seekhealing was for me. It was truly an enlightening experience, and one I would highly recommend to others. Addiction caused me tremendous pain, and made me desperate for answers. SeekHealing has the simple, beautiful answer: human connection. Farrell G.
