Chris Howard

Chris Howard is a Los Angeles–based substance abuse counselor, interventionist, certified case manager, and founder of Ethos Recovery, a structured sober-living program for men. A former drug addict and street-level dealer, Howard grew up amid severe family instability, including time in foster care and a mother who struggled with schizoaffective disorder. After getting sober, he turned his experience into a career helping others overcome addiction and rebuild their lives. Now with 17 years of sobriety, Howard emphasizes personal accountability, discipline, character development, and long-term recovery, drawing heavily on his own experience to challenge conventional approaches to addiction treatment.
