F.A.T.E From Addict to Entrepreneur, With Susie Hopson-Blum of New Method Wellness

Do your research. Don’t wait until it is a crisis. If you see a problem and know that it could get worse, make sure you do your homework, start early, and know what the options are so that when it is a crisis you will know what to do.

As a part of my series about people who made the journey from an addict to an entrepreneur, I had the pleasure to interview Susie Hopson-Blum.

Having been in recovery for over 25 years, Hopson-Blum has been an active, vital member of the recovery community ever since she went into treatment in 1988. Her experience managing and directing a behavioral health treatment facility has its roots in Sober Pacific Living, a sober living house which opened its doors to clients with a passion for treatment and recovery. Susie Hopson-Blum used her professional expertise and personal experience to establish New Method Wellness, a substance abuse treatment center that takes a holistic approach to recovery.
