Thomas is a dedicated addiction recovery advocate and clinician, drawing on his personal journey with sobriety since March 3, 2019. He began his career as a CDCA, facilitating group and individual sessions, and in 2022 he launched Recovery Church Canton, a faith-based support group and congregation that offers refuge, community, and growth for those on the recovery path. In January 2025, Thomas earned a bachelor’s degree in human services with a focus on addiction from Southern New Hampshire University, and he soon transitioned into SUD outreach. He combines lived experience with professional training to meet people where they are, empower lasting change, and connect individuals to compassionate, evidence-informed resources. As a Community Liaison, Thomas continues to advocate for the recovery of those struggling with substance abuse and mental health and to help them build hopeful, sustainable futures.
