William Nevadomski

Co-Founder Harmony Recovery Center

After a long battle with addiction to opiates and prescription drugs during his teenage years and early 20s, William went through state-funded treatment programs. After two episodes of treatment, he started living a clean life in February 2014, helped by the NA community and his desire and willingness to follow a program and change his life. William began working in the treatment field as a house manager for a sober living home. This allowed him to start to fulfill what he sees as his destiny, helping others in any way he could through their struggles that he went through himself and overcame. His journey continued, and through his compassion, ethical standards and care for the needy, he evolved in the field and earned the opportunity to grow through a position in the admissions department at White Sands Treatment Center. He maintained this position for over a year. Another opportunity came his way when Delphi Health Group offered him a position in the admissions department, which he took and evolved in for over a year, after which he joined the team at Harmony Recovery Center's sister-facility Recovery In Tune in Florida. After working in the admissions department for Recovery In Tune for over a year, William transitioned to the Harmony Recovery Group team as Business Development Director and Co-Founded Harmony Recovery Center. William has become a vital part of the program, using his personal and professional experience and knowledge to help and guide those in the program and educate the community about the program.

More Information

Mental illnesses and drug addictions often go hand in hand. The drugs can change the way your brain works on a chemical level, and these changes can make it harder for you to feel happy and fulfilled when you don't have access to drugs. While anyone who uses drugs can be impacted with mental illness, research conducted in Boston suggests that those with lower levels of education might have an even stronger tendency toward mental illness in addiction.

In an addiction recovery program, you'll learn more about how addictions can change the way you think and the way you feel, and you'll learn specific techniques that can help you to overcome the damage. When it comes to addiction and mental illness, knowledge is power, and you can get that knowledge in Boston addiction treatment programs.

It can be hard to differentiate between symptoms of addiction and symptoms of depression, as the two conditions tend to cause the same types of problems. However, these symptoms are commonly associated with depression, and they should prompt a talk with a doctor:

If you have a mental illness in addition to your addiction, you'll need to choose a program that specializes in providing care for both problems at the same time. Dealing with the addiction, while leaving the mental illness in place, is never a good idea as the mental illness can cause you such distress that a relapse to drug use becomes more and more likely. Similarly, dealing with only the mental illness can allow your addiction to grow stronger, which could make your mental illness symptoms worse. Programs that provide care for both problems at the same time will provide you with the kind of long-lasting help you'll need in order to truly heal.
