Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC (1888PressRelease) May 10, 2017 - A Life Worth Saving is a South Carolina nonprofit whose mission is providing much needed financial help to families with adolescents and young adults ages 13-26 struggling with substance abuse.

The financial burden for successful treatment and recovery is overwhelming. Insurance if you have it, usually covers a good portion of primary treatment, but aftercare, sober living and other expenses much less if at all.

It's no secret that opioid addiction is at epidemic levels all across the country. Our kids are literally dying. Almost all of us know someone who is or has struggled with addiction. Whether it's a family member, friend, relative or acquaintance, addiction really knows no boundaries and can happen to anyone no matter where they live, no matter what advantages they do or do not have, or what race or nationality they are.

A Life Worth Saving was founded in March of 2017 and is already having an impact. "The funds we provide go directly to the caregiver or service provider and have an immediate impact by maintaining the young person's recovery," said Mike Sayler, Founder /Executive Director.

Mike shared the source of his passion; "My passion for working with families that have adolescents struggling with substance abuse and addiction was born out of my experience with my son's addiction. As a parent I realized that what I was going through was one of the toughest things I'd ever faced; personally, spiritually, financially and as a family."

More often than not when insurance benefits run out, the young person leaves profession care and is left to tackle his or her recovery on their own. Sadly, the relapse rates are extremely high in these cases.

A Life Worth Saving helps the young person continue in their relationship with recovery professionals. Whether that means sober living, counseling or aftercare, we encourage them to maintain a strong sober support network.
