From Missing for 2 Years to Sober: How Empowered Recovery Reunited an Atlanta Family

There are no words strong enough to express the gratitude I feel for Empowered Recovery Center. My son had been missing for 2 years, lost in the grip of fentanyl addiction and homelessness. We were living every parent worst nightmare - until we found Empowered.

A Parent Worst Fear

For two years, this family did not know if their son was alive or dead. Fentanyl had taken him from them completely. They represent thousands of Georgia families facing the same terror.

The Day Everything Changed

From the very beginning, staff walked with the family through every step with compassion, strength, and unwavering support. They did not just help the son - they helped the entire family begin to heal.

Sober and Rebuilding

Thanks to Empowered, the son has been sober since January 2025. That date is now etched in their hearts as the day they got him back. He is rebuilding his life with hope, purpose, and dignity.
