Veterans Join Virtue Recovery to Expand Mental Health and Addiction Support Services
Virtue Recovery enhances its outreach capabilities by hiring military veterans Adam Khosroabadi and Chauncy Nash, bringing lived experience and specialized expertise to support veterans and others facing addiction, PTSD, and mental health challenges through its nationally accredited treatment centers.
Virtue Recovery has strengthened its business development team with the addition of two military veterans, Adam Khosroabadi and Chauncy Nash, who bring both professional expertise and personal recovery experience to expand support services for veterans and others struggling with addiction, PTSD, and mental health issues. The hires represent a strategic expansion of the organization's outreach capabilities and deepen its commitment to serving individuals and families navigating complex recovery pathways.
Adam Khosroabadi, a U.S. Marine Corps Combat Veteran, joins as Community Outreach Specialist and will 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 a pillar of support in Portland's behavioral health community.
Chauncy Nash, a retired U.S. Army Veteran with 20 years of service including multiple combat tours, joins as Business Development Liaison. His transition into healthcare over the past three years as a liaison and regional account manager has equipped him with valuable experience in forging partnerships and improving patient outcomes. Nash's military leadership background, combined with his technical expertise from pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Software Development and holding an Associate of Arts in Business Data Analytics, adds a unique balance of skills to the team.
The addition of these veterans is particularly significant given the unique challenges military personnel face regarding mental health and recovery. Both men bring deep understanding of discipline, resilience, and sacrifice from their military service, along with personal journeys that reflect Virtue Recovery's core values of compassion, courage, and commitment to service. Their hiring ensures that the organization's outreach remains authentic and impactful for veteran populations who often require specialized understanding and support.
Virtue Recovery operates as a nationally accredited network of recovery and detox centers with locations in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Texas. The organization employs a whole-person approach to addiction and mental health care, focusing on healing every layer of a person's life through dual-diagnosis programs that treat substance abuse and mental health conditions together. Their treatment methodology combines evidence-based therapies with compassion and individualized support, recognizing that no two recovery stories are identical.
Michael Banis, Chief Development Officer, emphasized the significance of these hires, stating that Khosroabadi and Nash bring more than just experience—they bring heart, grit, and relentless dedication to helping others heal. Their presence strengthens Virtue Recovery's mission to provide hope, healing, and lasting recovery for individuals and families across Oregon and nationwide. The organization's expansion includes highlighting its sister facility in Las Vegas, Silver State Adolescent Treatment, which offers evidence-based residential programs and holistic teen mental health and substance use treatment.
This strategic expansion of Virtue Recovery's business development team enhances the organization's ability to strengthen community connections, support families, and broaden access to care for those most in need. By integrating veterans with lived experience into key outreach positions, the organization demonstrates its commitment to authentic, impactful support services that address the complex interplay between military service, mental health challenges, and addiction recovery.
