Jason Turner MSW, CEO
After a 10 year active military career and at the brink of utter collapse, owing to his own substance use, Jason realized that something needed to change. The pain of continuing down the road he was on, was for the first time, more than the pain of making a change. It is from this realization and the belief that challenges overcome create change, that Recover Strong began. After addressing and recovering from his own challenges Jason felt compelled to give back to the community of recovering addicts. His passion for helping others is limitless and he has spent the last twelve years working in the treatment industry. During this time he also attended Arizona State University in order to complete his academic training acquiring an MSW degree.
