One life. Two very different photographs.

The distance between those two pictures is the reason this work exists.

Hunter Michael Shepard is a native of Appalachian Ohio who overcame addiction in the heart of the opioid epidemic. He knows what the bottom looks like because he lived there, and he knows the way back is possible because he walked it.

Since then he has dedicated his life to helping people and families who are still in the fight. He is a trained addiction interventionist and sober transporter, and he has guided families from every corner of the world through some of the hardest days of their lives.

Through Hunter.Vs.Addiction he shares the unfiltered side of addiction and recovery with 2 Million+ followers across all platforms. The goal is simple: meet people where they are, show them that change is real, and be ready with trusted resources the moment they decide to ask for help.

Inspire

Honest content about addiction and recovery that reaches people who may not be ready to talk to anyone yet.

A real conversation when someone reaches out, whether they are struggling themselves or worried about someone they love.

03

Guide

When someone is ready, a clear path to trusted help: intervention support for families, a free treatment directory and crisis lines.

A brand, a practice and a resource.
