Sarah is in recovery herself, after struggling with addiction since the age of 15. She discusses her substance abuse disorder and how community aided her recovery. “I felt very limited and trapped…But I’m really grateful that my high school community in Houston, Texas had a really strong youth recovery community and continuum of care.
