Bill Brown worked as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commissioner for Richard Nixon over 18 years ago. As Commissioner, Brown dealt with lobbyists and influenced special interest groups, and admits that he “would do anything to make a buck” in those days. What many don’t know about Brown is that during that time he was also struggling with an alcohol addiction that he was able to handle through a successful drug rehab program.

Today Bill Brown is a major advocate of substance abuse treatment. In fact, a recent article reports that Brown and his wife organize an annual Art of Recovery Expo, an event that that educates the community about addiction and helps people to connect up with solutions for drug treatment.

Brown and his wife want people drug addicts to know where to get help and to promote the fact that there are many good resources out there for drug rehab.

The media has recently been inundated with drug treatment failures. It’s good to see a story about someone who made it through alcohol or drug rehab successfully, and works hard to ensure others do the same.
