Andy came through Gatehouse Academy after battling with untreated alcoholism and drug addiction for the better part of 10 years. He was able to maintain outside appearances for a while, however it became clear that his drug and alcohol problem was out of control. Finding himself in significant legal trouble, Andy's family turned to Gatehouse to try to save their son and show him another way of life. Gatehouse was Andy's first attempt at getting sober; he never attended a treatment center prior to arriving at Gatehouse Academy. Andy spent a year at Gatehouse Academy, starting out at the ‘Ranch'program. He continued on his journey of recovery at our main campus. After graduating Gatehouse, Andy continued his recovery in Prescott, Arizona, where he was actively involved in the young people's A.A. community while attending college full time and working part time. Andy brought his experience, strength, and hope in recovery back to Wickenburg where he enjoys working with residents and their families.
