“Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy once said ‘Nearly 1 in 7 will face drug addiction in the USA alone.’ This growing epidemic is something the OCN has been compelled to face with its listeners.” Says Eleni Alexiou, Managing Director of OCN. “We know many of our followers have faced addiction or have someone they care about who is struggling through it now. Our desire is to provide a place where our listeners can learn more about addiction and the road to recovery. We also wanted to remind those that are suffering that the Orthodox faith can provide strength for those even in the hardest of places.”
Deacon Nikolas holds a Master of Divinity from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, and a Certificate of Completion from the Addictions Counselor Education Program, University of Massachusetts, Boston. Over the last five years, he has served as an Addictions/Behavioral Health Counselor to a various Mental Health Clinics, Recovery Homes, and Outpatient Programs in both Boston, MA and the DC Metropolitan area.
