Minkah Becktemba

My name is Minkah Becktemba, Founder/Director of Multiple Pathways to Recovery LLC. I am in recovery from being addicted to incarceration, homelessness, and loneliness because I struggled many years with substance use disorder / mental health disorder (addicted to drugs and severe depression). After what could be considered long-term recovery, I am now an Indiana Certified Peer Support Professional providing peer-led peer support to underserved people struggling with addiction. Due to the lack of access, education, encouragement, and just not knowing recovery is possible, many people just like me continue to struggle with and are dying from substance use disorder. We are individuals, but that drug treats the human brain the same way. I have many of the same lived experiences as you, and I am here to assure you that recovery is possible.
