Joseph Tersigni
RECOVERY SUPPORT SPECIALIST
Joseph Tersigni’s journey to becoming a Recovery Support Specialist is one marked by resilience and transformation. Just two years ago, he could never have envisioned himself in this role. For many years, Joseph struggled with addiction to fentanyl and meth, an experience that nearly overtook his life. He knows firsthand the relentless hold of addiction, having faced repeated attempts to detox alone, only to find himself trapped in an unbreakable cycle. However, two years ago, Joseph reached a pivotal moment. Recognizing that he needed help, he sought treatment, entered rehab, and committed fully to the 12-step program—a decision that profoundly reshaped his life.
During his recovery, Joseph encountered the profound dedication and perseverance required for true change. It was also a time when he experienced a spiritual awakening, discovering faith and a renewed sense of purpose. For the first time in many years, he felt a sense of peace and hope. This transformative journey, though difficult, changed him from the inside out and ignited a passion to support others in their own recovery.
As a Recovery Support Specialist, Joseph provides empathetic and compassionate assistance to those facing addiction, whether they are just beginning to consider sobriety or are already on their recovery path and seeking guidance from someone who truly understands. He knows the weight of fear, guilt, and self-doubt but has also experienced the profound impact of taking small, courageous steps toward healing. The strategies and insights that helped Joseph through his own recovery now serve as valuable tools that he shares with others.
Joseph’s approach is rooted in the belief that every individual’s path to recovery is unique and that no one should have to walk it alone. He meets clients where they are, offering nonjudgmental support through the highs and lows of their recovery journey. As a steady and trustworthy companion, Joseph provides perspective and encouragement and shares his personal experiences to inspire hope and belief in the possibility of change.
For those ready to take the first step or even those who are simply exploring what life beyond addiction could look like, Joseph is there to offer support. He believes that recovery is best navigated alongside someone who has walked that path and understands the challenges. With his guidance, individuals can work toward a brighter, healthier future—one day at a time.
