Veterans Join Virtue Recovery Team to Expand Addiction and Mental Health Support Services

Virtue Recovery has expanded its Business Development Team with the addition of Adam Khosroabadi as Community Outreach Specialist and Chauncy Nash as Business Development Liaison, both bringing military service backgrounds and personal recovery experience to enhance support for veterans and individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges. These hires represent a strategic expansion of the organization's outreach capabilities, particularly for populations that face unique barriers to accessing care.

Adam Khosroabadi, a United States Marine Corps Combat Veteran, will directly support Virtue At The Pointe Recovery Center in Astoria, Oregon, and Virtue Recovery Center in Milwaukie, Oregon. His background in behavioral health and business development, combined with his own recovery journey, positions him as a trusted resource for both veteran and civilian populations. Khosroabadi's extensive outreach experience and deep connections to local resources make him particularly effective at building bridges between those in need and available support services.

Chauncy Nash brings 20 years of military service as a retired U.S. Army Veteran, including multiple combat tours, along with three years of healthcare experience as a liaison and regional account manager. His transition into healthcare following military retirement demonstrates the growing recognition of veterans' unique qualifications for supporting mental health and addiction recovery services. Nash's academic background in business data analytics and ongoing pursuit of a software development degree adds technical expertise to the team's outreach efforts.

The significance of these appointments extends beyond staffing expansion to address critical gaps in veteran mental health support. Veterans face disproportionately high rates of PTSD, substance abuse, and mental health disorders, often compounded by military service experiences and transition challenges. Having team members who share military backgrounds and personal recovery experiences ensures that Virtue Recovery's outreach remains authentic and culturally competent when serving this population.

Virtue Recovery operates a nationally accredited network of recovery and detox centers across Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Texas, offering dual-diagnosis treatment that addresses both substance use and mental health disorders simultaneously. The organization's whole-person approach integrates evidence-based therapies with compassion and individualized support, recognizing that recovery involves healing physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person's life. This comprehensive methodology is particularly important for veterans, who often require integrated care that addresses multiple co-occurring conditions.

Michael Banis, Chief Development Officer, emphasized that Khosroabadi and Nash bring more than just experience to the organization—they bring heart, grit, and relentless dedication to helping others heal. Their military backgrounds provide them with deep understanding of discipline, resilience, and sacrifice, qualities that align with Virtue Recovery's core values of compassion, courage, and commitment to service. These attributes are essential when working with individuals facing the complex challenges of addiction and mental health recovery.

The expansion of Virtue Recovery's Business Development Team comes at a critical time when substance abuse and mental health challenges continue to affect communities nationwide, with veterans particularly vulnerable. By strengthening community connections and broadening access to care through experienced outreach specialists, the organization enhances its capacity to serve those who might otherwise struggle to find appropriate support. The hires demonstrate Virtue Recovery's commitment to building partnerships that expand access to care and ultimately save lives, particularly for populations with specialized needs.
