Richard Preston founded Project Save Lives as a way to support other men who are dedicated to recovery from a substance use disorder.

Although he has been sober since he entered his final rehabilitation treatment center program in 2006, he remembers the temptations that he faced. He began offering aftercare services to other men hoping to continue a recovery journey after completing a treatment program.

“The only thing you have to change is everything.”

Richard Preston, founder of Project Save Lives
