At Recovery Road LLC, we believe that lasting change begins with understanding, compassion, and the courage to meet people where they are.

Our mission is to educate professionals, organizations, and communities in evidence-based harm reduction principles and practices that strengthen healing, advance equity, and support recovery and wellness. We recognize that health and recovery are rarely linear journeys, and that meaningful progress is achieved when individuals are treated with dignity, respect, and cultural humility.

Founded by Bill Houston and Erin Fitzgerald, Recovery Road LLC brings together experience in education, behavioral health, public health, advocacy, and recovery support. Our work is shaped by both professional expertise and lived experience, providing a unique perspective that bridges research, policy, and real-world practice.

Our training goes beyond learning new techniques. We invite participants to explore how their own life experiences, professional backgrounds, values, biases, and tolerance for risk influence the way they view substance use, mental health, recovery, and behavior change. Through thoughtful reflection and evidence-based discussion, participants gain practical tools for engaging individuals with greater empathy, effectiveness, and cultural humility.

A deeper understanding of harm reduction can also strengthen professional resilience. By recognizing and addressing stigma, moral distress, compassion fatigue, and burnout, professionals can build healthier relationships with the people they serve while sustaining their own well-being and effectiveness. We believe that supporting the workforce is essential to supporting recovery.

Whether we are working with behavioral health professionals, healthcare providers, peer support specialists, educators, social service agencies, corrections professionals, or community organizations, our goal remains the same: to foster learning that inspires action, strengthens relationships, and creates opportunities for healing and growth.

We envision a world where everyone can access compassionate, multidimensional support to pursue recovery, wellness, and meaningful life goals. Through authentic conversations, practical education, and a commitment to equity, cultural humility, and human dignity, we help turn knowledge into action—and action into positive change.

Because learning should do more than inform. It should support change.
