The road to recovery for a veteran trial lawyer who confronted his own drinking problem has created an unexpected business opportunity — leading interventions for families dealing with substance abuse problems.
Steven Varney has been sober since 2006. A little over two years ago, he got interested in the idea of helping families organize surprise showdowns that result in getting drug- or alcohol-addicted loved ones into treatment. Varney’s motivation came from facing addiction problems of his own. “I found that in working through my own recovery program, I got enormous satisfaction or fulfillment out of helping other people who are struggling,” Varney said.
