The Leadership Team at Zysk Recovery Partners, Augusta, Maine.
Josh Stover, ADCA
My name is Josh. I have been a lifelong resident of Maine, growing up in the Boothbay Region and relocating to the capital area two years ago. That is when my journey of recovery really began, with the support of an incredible counselor who I now consider my mentor. I’ve not only reclaimed my life but also discovered a profound passion for helping others in their own recovery.

I’m currently enrolled in the University of Maine’s Mental Health and Human Services degree program, I am dedicated to becoming a substance abuse counselor. My goal is to use my experiences to guide and support others on their path to recovery, turning my challenges into opportunities for positive change.
Outside of my academic pursuits, I cherish every moment spent with my son. We share a love for the outdoors, often embarking on hiking and fishing adventures. When the weather keeps us indoors, we dive into our shared geeky interests, playing video games and indulging in sci-fi movies. These experiences, both challenging and joyful, have shaped me into someone who values resilience, compassion, integrity, and the pursuit of a purpose-driven life.

Over the past decade, I have worked as a community case manager, served in Child Protective Services, and contributed to substance abuse treatment programs. Additionally, I have facilitated Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and participated in harm reduction initiatives.
My dedication to supporting and advocating for the LGBTQ community is evident through over ten years of volunteering with LGBTQ youth outreach programs. This work has been a cornerstone of my career, and I am passionate about creating inclusive, affirming spaces for all individuals.
I have a strong passion for serving those suffering from addiction issues. I believe that adverse childhood experiences play a significant role in the development of substance use disorders. I firmly believe in the transformative power of therapeutic communities for addiction recovery. These structured, supportive environments foster personal growth and social reintegration, allowing individuals to heal through peer support and holistic care. By embracing the community as a method, we can create lasting change and help individuals reclaim their lives.
As humans, our natural inclination is to connect with others, for better or worse. By fostering healthy relationships, individuals can heal from trauma, substance use, and mental health challenges. Just like a seed that needs care and nurturing to flourish, recovery requires support, patience, and dedication.
Tisha York, ADCA

Item #1
I spent 18 months of my recovery in the TC community and it was the best decision I ever made for myself though God the TC and AA I was gifted a second chance at life. My passion is to work with the recovery community I found that when I was in treatment and have been pursuing it ever since. I am a student at UMA in the mental health and human services field and will test for my CADC as soon as I am eligible. I pray that all who are lost in addiction can see another way out and I’m hoping to be a part of there journey. I am honest to be a part of Zysk recovery.
