Our Mission
Commitment To Recovery
At GPS Recovery, our mission is rooted in a steadfast commitment to recovery. We recognize the complex challenges faced by individuals struggling with substance abuse and dedicate ourselves to providing a supportive, nurturing environment that fosters long-term sobriety. Our approach is holistic, addressing not just physical recovery, but also mental and emotional well-being. By equipping our residents with the necessary tools, resources, and support networks, we strive to empower them on their journey towards a healthier, substance-free life, ensuring every step is taken with care and understanding.
A Life Remembered
The Foundation of Our Program
GPS is strengthened by what GPS stands for. GPS are the initials of Chris's younger brother Gregory Paul Shadek, who lost his life to addiction in 2016. This tragic event occurs every 10 minutes in the United States and is becoming a reality for more and more families. The driving force that embodies GPS' mission represents both sides of addiction: Living and Dying. The painful lesson from Greg's passing is that once you are gone, there are no more chances, no more hope, and thus recovery is no longer an option...the harshest of realities. Greg as well as 100,306 people (CDC) April 2020-April 2021 were never giving that opportunity, a new chance. BUT!, if you are alive, there is always hope - hope to get better, hope to live, hope to experience all of life's ups and downs and most importantly a life to be lived and experienced. GPS created a program based on this hope of living to help.

The Founders of GPS Recovery
Chuck Demarino and Chris Shadek's journey to founding GPS Recovery is a story of transformation and redemption. Their personal battles with addiction, repeated experiences with treatment centers, and attempts at sobriety in various recovery homes, have deeply shaped their understanding of the recovery process. Their challenging paths led them to a profound realization that sobriety not only gave them their lives back but also a mission to help others. They combined their experiences to create GPS Recovery, a unique environment designed to assist others in navigating early recovery and building a sustainable future. Their commitment stems from a heartfelt desire to share the gift of a life happily lived in sobriety.

"GPS changed my life, it's unlike any other recovery house I've been to or heard about. I lived in the house for a total of a year and The owners Chris and Chuck helped each resident individually and do everything they can to help get people back on their feet. The house is run similar to a family where everyone cares and is there for each other. I owe it to Chris, Chuck and the guys I lived with in the house to set me on the proper path that I'm on today."
