Parents & Addicts in Need’s Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sat down with Tim Ryan, known for his autobiography "From Dope To Hope, A Man In Recovery" and the A&E Series Dope Man. We discuss getting through to the youth on the dangers of experimentation now, speaking with parents and community leaders, and law enforcement. Tim and his wife actress and model Jennifer Gimenez have traveled the country many times over not only speaking with those in need, more importantly providing tools for growth and resources to heal. 
Tim Ryan has dedicated his life to helping others find recovery. Tim’s moving motivational speech, From Dope to Hope (TM), chronicles his harrowing experience as a troubled addict who did drugs with his own son and his son’s friends, his incarceration, and his life today that includes his own journey in recovery and his work in serving others. As Tim so convincingly says, “We’re taking one addict at a time from dope to hope!” Tim also provides the community at large with valuable information about opiates and their devastating effects. Tim’s speech informs on the current landscape of heroin addiction nationwide, the surprising effects of heroin on the brain and body, and how to recognize and handle those who struggle with addiction to opiates and other substances. Tim Ryan has shared his story and knowledge countless times with a variety of audiences, including students, educators, parents, treatment centers, 12-step programs, halfway houses, and prisons.
