Jake Epperly, CSADC, of New Hope Recovery Center, traveled to Kathmandu, Nepal where he assisted Suyash Rajbhandari a local Nepalese. Suyash began a 12-step based treatment program called “Recovery Group” in Kathmandu, Nepal about two years ago. Last year Suyash contacted Jake Epperly and asked for assistance in starting a treatment program in Kathmandu, Nepal. At the time Jake primarily assisted him over the internet by sharing treatment schedules, lectures and other tools. Within 3 or 4 months Suyash had established a 15 bed residential treatment program. Jake spent two weeks assisting Suyash at the Recovery Group Treatment Center. “It was a truly amazing experience, one of the most meaningful times I have had in the treatment field,” Jake shared about his time there.
