Speaking on Drug & Alcohol Addiction and Intervention

Dr. Ellis is available to speak at churches, civic organizations, or any venue where people want and need to learn about addiction, intervention, and recovery.

Ignorance about the disease of addiction and the rampant negative spiritual emotions surrounding the disease are the greatest obstacles to intervention and recovery. One of Dr. Ellis’s main objectives through Chrysalis Interventions is to remove the shame, blame, and guilt surrounding addiction.
