Rachel Price (Works in Recovery)
Manage episode 516238208 series 3421604
Both of Rachel Price's parents and her first husband battled addiction. When Rachel's first child was 6 months old, her mother died after an overdose. She learned to be strong and stand on her own two feet out of necessity, and for a long time did not understand how trauma had impacted her life. Eventually, she decided she wanted to be a cop, in large part to help people whose alcohol and other drug addictions brought them into contact with law enforcement. Someone at Randolph Community College in Asheboro suggested she take a look at the field of social and human services, specifically addiction and recovery services. She did and discovered her calling.
