Brandon Novak’s recovery story & mission to help others
From addiction to recovery
Brandon Novak’s story is one of addiction, loss, and ultimately, long-term recovery. After struggling with heroin and alcohol use for more than two decades, he was able to get sober—and has since dedicated his life to helping others do the same. Today, as a founder of Redemption Addiction Treatment Center, his experience helps shape a treatment approach built on both clinical care and lived understanding.
Before recovery, he was a professional skateboarder discovered by Tony Hawk who later rose to national attention through MTV. Despite that success, addiction was taking hold behind the scenes. What began in his teenage years escalated into a long struggle with substance use that eventually left him homeless and disconnected from the life he had built.
After many attempts to stop, he achieved lasting sobriety in 2015. Since then, he has traveled the country as a recovery advocate and Certified Intervention Professional, helping individuals and families take the first step toward treatment. His work, writing, and public speaking all reflect a single message: recovery is possible.
Helping others find recovery
Today, he is living in long-term recovery and continues to share his story to help others find a way forward. As the author of Dreamseller and a nationally recognized recovery advocate, he has reached thousands of individuals and families through speaking engagements, media appearances, and direct intervention work.
His experience led him to help build and ultimately founded Redemption Addiction Treatment Center, where he works alongside a team committed to guiding people into lasting recovery. As a Certified Intervention Professional, he continues to help individuals and families take the first step toward treatment—often at the moments when it matters most.
