David S., Case Manager

Hey there! I'm David, a Case Manager with a passion for helping others in the recovery community. With 10 years of experience, I've dedicated myself to supporting individuals on their journey to sobriety.

In 2012, after an 18-month vacation courtesy of the California Department of Corrections, I fully immersed myself in the recovery community. Starting as a volunteer at Cri-Help and NA-based facility, I focused on assisting those newly paroled in LA. After a year, I transitioned to Creative Care, the first dual diagnosis facility in Southern California. Over the course of 5 years, I held various roles such as tech, shift lead, aftercare coordinator, and alumni coordinator.

In 2020, I joined Cedars Sinai, where I provided support to patients with heart pumps and artificial hearts. As the pandemic hit, I transitioned to become a Case Manager at Starbridge, a detox center in Universal City. This opportunity allowed me to work closely with the HIV positive, LGBTQ, and transgender community through Tarzana Treatment Center.

In March 2024, I was given the incredible opportunity to be a part of RTB. My fiancée and I uprooted our lives to move states and contribute to the growth and success of RTB. Throughout my journey, I've achieved 10 years of sobriety through AA and completed an accelerated course to obtain my CADAC certification. Currently, I'm eagerly awaiting my final exam as I work towards completing my degree in psychology.

Join me as I continue to learn, grow, and make a positive impact in the recovery community!
