Healthy Harrison, in partnership with the Harrison County Commission, is working to reshape the conversation around addiction in West Virginia by highlighting powerful stories of resilience and recovery. In this moving video, Dr. Lou Ortenzio shares his personal journey from trusted community physician to opioid addiction, his fall from grace, and ultimately, his path to long-term recovery. Now the executive director of Arch Recovery, the first detox and residential treatment center of its kind in Harrison County, Dr. Ortenzio’s story is one of hope, transformation, and faith. Through honesty, support, and community, he found redemption—and now works to help others do the same. This video is a testament to the belief that recovery isn’t just possible—it’s probable, and every life changed brings us one step closer to a healthier West Virginia.
