Chris Rubio

Chris Rubio

Alumni Coordinator for Greenville

If you would like to get in contact with Chris, please email [email protected].

My name is Chris Rubio, and I am a Certified Peer Support Specialist working with Recovery Centers of America as an Alumni Relations Coordinator. I have been working as a peer support since 2015 – in California, and for the last two and a half years here in South Carolina. My experience as a CPSS has been primarily in Homeless Outreach. Connecting folks that are housing challenged battling with substance use and/or mental health challenges. Being in long term recovery from substances myself, it excites me to work in substance use recovery, helping the next person come out of active addiction.

In your opinion, why do you believe an alumni program is so important for those who want to achieve long term recovery?

I believe that here at Recovery Centers of America, the Alumni Association is one of the most important pieces for people new to or coming back into long term recovery. The disease of addiction wants us isolated. So, the Alumni program offers community around those beginning their recovery journey.

If you could send a message to family, friends, and loved ones of those with substance use disorder, what would it be?

If I could send a message to the family and loved ones of our patients or those who love someone that is still struggling, it would be to continue holding the hope. Where there’s breath, there’s still hope!

What do you hope to accomplish as an Alumni Coordinator?

What I hope to accomplish as an Alumni Coordinator is to be one small part of our patients’ stories and helping them believe that long term recovery is not only possible, but possible for them!
