Chris Ray has worked a lot of different jobs several in restaurants, in a Segway shop and even spent time as a lobster fisherman. He’s lived in Ohio, California, New Hampshire and in other ski towns.
“I lived the whole ski town lifestyle,” Ray said. “Just kind of partied and got away with it. … I just kind of was a s head.”
He was in his mid-30s when he moved to Steamboat Springs, but Ray said he was reliving his 20s. Bouncing around from job to job, mainly in the service industry. He poured drinks behind the bar and spent time as general manager of a local restaurant.
As humans, we are naturally looking to rebuild and reconnect. With increased stressors and limited resources during this global pandemic, the Health Partnership wants to ensure there are multiple outlets for the recovery community that support human connection.
The Health Partnership Serving Northwest Colorado has launched a Recovery Department in response to the rising need in the Yampa Valley, and to offer support for existing organizations. Through its work with Memorial Regional Health’s Rural Alliance Against Substance Use Disorder (RAS-Col) and Rural Response to the Opioid Epidemic Northwest Coalition (RROE) recovery programs, the Health Partnership is able to expand its recovery department to Moffat County.
